The Caticlan Jetty Port is now implementing the unified ticketing system in order to gain accurate data on the number of tourist arrivals to this resort island.
The unified ticketing system is implemented using a turnstile machine inside the Caticlan Jetty Port, Caticlan, Malay, Aklan.
"Through the unified ticketing system, we hope to have a better count of tourists visiting this resort island. In the past, some tourists are able to elude being counted by tourism officials because of certain reasons," Maquirang said.
Each coming tourist before entering the turnstile machine should pay for both terminal, environmental and boat fees in one counter. They then will be presenting the ticket to the personnel manning the turnstile machine before they could be allowed to pass through.
Aklan residents are exempted from paying the unified ticketing system as they will only be charged of a boat fare.
"Aklanons must however present a valid identification as proof that they are residents of the province," Maquirang said.
The Aklan provincial government hopes to receive one million tourists at the end of the year 2012. (PNA) /MP
