Cebu and Davao are two of the major tourist gateways in the Philippines for Visayas and Mindanao, respectively. Cebu, the "Queen City of the South", also known locally as Sugbo, is the capital city of the island of Cebu and the oldest city in the country. The city is known for its popular tourist attractions which include the Magellan's Cross Shrine, an important historical landmark marking the beginning of the Spanish occupation in the Philippines, and the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño (Minor Basilica of the Santo Niño), which houses the Santo Niño de Cebú (Holy Child of Cebu), the oldest Catholic relic in the Philippines.

Apart from exploring the Spanish side of the island, nature-loving travellers can go to Cebu and discover its rich marine life at scuba diving spots in Moalbal, Malapascua, and Pescador Island, or hop on a ferry to its island neighbours, Bohol and Negros, for dive safaris in Cabilao and Apo Island.

The largest city in the country and the premier city and hub of Mindanao, Davao is also home to some of the country's top beach and mountain resorts, most notably the Pearl Farm in the secluded island of Samal, just 45 minutes off the coast of the city. Adventure-seekers can sign up for a two-day climb at Mount Apo, Philippines' tallest mountain at 9,692 ft located just 40 km northeast of Davao, or sample "the king of fruits", durian, which, due to its unusual flavor and odor, have aroused intense passion in some and dislike in others. The annual week-long Kadayawan Festival in August, the biggest of its kind in Mindanao, is celebrated during the peak season of durian and mangosteen (another fruit) as a thanksgiving celebration for the bountiful harvest of flowers and fruits that Davao is known for.

The Cebu and Davao flights are the first domestic flights under the SEAIR-Tiger Airways Partner Airline Programme, which allows SEAIR to distribute its seats through Tiger Airways' established internet booking system, http://www.tigerairways.com.

"SEAIR's great value fares and this expanded network will offer travellers even more value-for-money destinations to choose from, together with worry-free bookings. The introduction of domestic, high frequency jet routes will also drive the creation of new jobs, both directly as well as by boosting domestic tourism across the Philippines," said SEAIR President and CEO Avelino Zapanta. SEAIR is the first Tiger Airways Partner Airline in the Asia Pacific region.

SEAIR is the Philippines' second oldest airline. It has the reputation of having pioneered commercial flights to the country's fastest growing tourist destinations including Boracay, Batanes, and northern Palawan. Now on its 16th year of operation, SEAIR is expanding its reach regionally with its current jet services to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau.
