GCash partnered with the Municipality of Malay to further promote 'cash-lite' tourism in Boracay Island via the unified ticketing payment system: eBoracay.
Thru the partnership, tourists can now easily pay terminal, environmental, and boat fees starting with Tabon Port of Malay, in a convenient and hassle-free manner. The payment portal is powered by Surepay Technologies Inc., (SPTI).
"The unified automated process and cashless payments will be available in more access ports going to Boracay, as we help build a secure and seamless cashless ecosystem that supports the sustainable development of one of the best islands in the world," said Jong Layug, GCash B2B Group Head.
"The enacment resolutions by LGU of Malay paved the way for a unified ticketing payment system which aimed to consolidate processes and automate payments. It's really quick and tourists will no longer have to write anything manually or take out from their wallet and look for the cash," said Atty. Arnold Caballero, SPTI President. He also added that collecting the required fees via the Tabon Port entry is an essential first step towards the ultimate convenience to tourists and residents of Boracay.
For more flexible cashless payment options, GCash also offers GCredit and GGives that allows users to shop now and pay later.
"Tourists no longer have to bring cash around and can easily pay in advance before their arrival on the island. Even local residents need not have to fall in line as they can be booked through the system if they so desire in the project's next phase," said Malay Mayor Frolibar Baustista.
