Following the SiGMA Asia summit, which was held between the 2nd and 5th of June, at the SMX Convention Centre in Manila, affiliates will indulge in a luxury networking opportunity in El Nido. The island of Palawan will host the SiGMA Elite Affiliate retreat taking place this week between the 6th and 8th of June.  Things got off to a good start yesterday with an afternoon packed with icebreaker activities at Lio beach, one of the best island beaches in the Philippines. This was followed by a white and gold themed welcome dinner at Piece of Sky – a rooftop bar and restaurant with breathtaking sunset views of Bacuit Bay.

Today, affiliates head off on an island boat adventure, where they’ll explore the vibrant coral reefs, white sands and pristine turquoise waters making this one of the best places to enjoy snorkelling and diving. They’ll enjoy lunch on the private island of Pinagbuyutan before heading back for a Bohemian-themed pool party. The retreat offers an ideal chance for affiliates and operators to strengthen both old and new friendships, paving the way for exciting new business relationships to blossom. Things come to a close tomorrow, with affiliates flying back to Manila following a scenic breakfast at the beach resort.
