AirAsia launched the #HowIFly campaign, a social media advocacy that encourages and educates  everyone on how to be responsible travelers as they discover new destinations.

Palawan known as “The Last Frontier”, is a familiar travel destination as it is home to rich rainforests, scenic diving sites, primeval caves and beautiful beaches. Unknown to many, Palawan also hosts one of the largest areas of pearl farming – a unique industry in the country. This makes a necessity for the local community to be a prime mover of sustainability to balance conservation and progress. One of the key players in pearl farming in Palawan is Jewelmer, a leading jewelry company that takes sustainability at the heart of its operations.

Learn more about the beauty of pearl farming, the role of the business community on environmental protection and the AirAsia’s #HowIFly campaign at the next episode of AirAsia’s “Red Talks with Daphne”, hosted by award-winning TV host and producer, Daphne Oseña-Paez. Entitled Destination: Harmony, it will talk about pearl production, and delves into the ongoing campaign to protect Palawan’s marine biodiversity through responsible eco-tourism and the AirAsia’s continued advocacy in educating people to be responsible travelers.

Red Talks with Daphne’s 5^th episode will be available on AirAsia Philippines’ Facebook page at www.facebook.com/airasiaph on May 20, 2017.

We usually are drawn to photos of people who are able to visit tourist destinations not just locally but also abroad. When we saw these photos, we are determined to find out more about the place but most of the time, we cannot get much information.
