Promising to give travellers “more of Bohol.”
Travelers passing through Bohol-Panglao International Airport (BPIA). now have more opportunities to shop, dine, and discover products that reflect the character of the province.
Since the Aboitiz InfraCapital Bohol Airport Corporation (ABAC) assumed operations of BPIA, it has welcomed several new merchants, adding to the range of travel essentials, dining options, retail concepts, and locally made products available to arriving and departing passengers.
The new retail concepts complement the airport’s existing commercial offerings.
“For many travelers, the airport is both the first and last stop of their journey. We want that experience to reflect the warmth, creativity, and identity of Bohol,” said Aldwin Uy, General Manager of Bohol–Panglao International Airport.
For food and beverage, travelers can choose from House of Fruitas, Jamaican Pattie Shop, and Pick Up Coffee, offering convenient options for a quick meal, snack, or drink before continuing their journey.
Meanwhile, the airport’s retail and shopping mix now includes Duty Free Philippines, Momento, Nomad, Tesoros (Filipino Treasures), Island Souvenirs, and Sunglass Gallery.
Complementing these commercial offerings are products from local enterprises, giving greater visibility to Boholano sellers through the Department of Trade and Industry’s One Town, One Product (OTOP) Program.
Several stores at BPIA carry authentic Boholano delicacies, handcrafted products, locally made souvenirs, and goods from community-based enterprises.
Travelers can also find a wide selection of local crafts, apparel, and Boholano delicacies at Aproniana Gift Shop in Baclayon, a one-stop destination for souvenirs and pasalubong.
“By welcoming more retail concepts—particularly those showcasing locally made products—we’re creating an airport experience that is more convenient for passengers while providing meaningful opportunities for local businesses and artisans to reach visitors from around the world,” Uy added.
Since ABAC assumed operations of the airport, BPIA has served more than 2.16 million passengers, reflecting the continued strength of domestic and international travel to the province.
