The connector

Twenty-eight years ago, businessman Cedric M. Sazon took a bold step and launched Southwest Tours (Boracay) with only a single 18-seater coaster that plied just Aklan province in Western Visayas. Today, his company has risen to become one of the country’s largest tourist transport providers, operating 200 mini buses, vans, cars, taxi cabs and speedboats, and serving over 2 million passengers.

Now, it’s not only Aklan, which Southwest Tours serves, but also Roxas City, Capiz, Bacolod, Negros Occidental and Bohol and Iloilo provinces.
