He said Antique beautiful destinations, especially in the northern part of Antique, near the famous Boracay island of Aklan province.

These destinations located in the northern towns are Malumpati Cold Spring in Pandan and Kawa (cauldron) Hot Bath in Tibiao.

“Tourist resorts are requested to adjust their prices for Antiqueños so they could also afford their accommodation,” he said.

The APTCAO also unveiled the revised version of the book “The Flavors of Antique Await You,” containing heirloom recipes that can guide resort owners.

He cited, as an example, the life-size statues of the 10 Bornean datus in Barangay Malandog, Hamtic, which are significant recollections of the village as the first resettlement site of Malay ancestors in the country. (PNA)
