Plaza Premium Lounge expands in the Philippines at Mactan Cebu International Airport
New Domestic Arrivals Lounge and Playroom at International Departures Lounge offer unrivalled airport hospitality
Plaza Premium Lounge has continued to expand internationally with the opening of a Domestic Arrivals Lounge in Terminal 1 at Mactan Cebu International Airport in the Philippines. This lounge is Plaza Premium Lounge’s second location in the airport following the lounge located in International Departures, Terminal 2, which is now the second international location to introduce the brand’s new Playroom concept. Playroom is a dedicated children's zone developed in collaboration with Masterkidz for family travel as part of Plaza Premium Group’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of travellers.
Canadians are among the top 10 international tourists to travel to the Philippines. Cebu, a city filled with landmarks and beach resorts, has increasingly become a popular holiday destination with a 14% increase in arrivals in 2018.
“Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines and serves as the main hub for commerce, trade and education industries. The growing economy has established Mactan Cebu International Airport as the country’s second busiest airport. It’s great timing for us to tap on the existing passenger demand for more lounges to make travel better for everyone.” — Song Hoi-see, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Plaza Premium Group
