MM Resort to boost further development this year
NEW WASHINGTON, Aklan- The Maria Mercedes (MM) Resort and Convention Center at Barangay Malogo, New Washington promises more features this year as it gears to become the province’s premier resort and convention center.
Its bid to become the province’s premier resort has been boosted after recently being chosen as the venue for a swimwear competition and preliminary competition of the Binibini ng Kalibo Sto. Nino Ati-atihan 2025.
Aside from the prestigious event, the resort has also been the venue of several important events such as reunions, and corporate gatherings, birthdays, weddings among others.
The MM Resort at Sitio Malogo, New Washington, Aklan, spawns at a 4.4-hectare inland resort. This was fully opened to the public on February 28, 2024.
Dr. Ruffy Yu, 70, the chief executive officer (CEO) ย of the resort, said that he hopes to make it not only a family getaway for the community but will also attract foreign and local tourists through short- and long-term homestays and experiences similar to the concept of AirBNB in the United States of America (USA).
โI built the resort not actually expecting it to become lucrative, but rather I would like to offer an alternative destination for families, especially during weekends and for their special events,โ he said.
