Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. announced that it is opening its Boracay Newcoast Convention Center (BNCC), right within its expansive 150-hectare Boracay Newcoast in the eastern part of Boracay Island. The 1,200-seater convention facility is a modern tensile structure that can be divided into three smaller rooms, each with a capacity of 400 persons for theatre-type set-up and 250 persons for banquet-type set-up. Surrounding the facility is an open garden lawn, which can be used as an extended amenity for events.

Savoy Hotel Boracay and Belmont Hotel Boracay, the two hotels already operating inside Boracay Newcoast, will handle the banquet requirements of the BNCC. The new convention facility will also have a close proximity to the beach area of Boracay Newcoast. Currently, the beach area offers WiFi services and other lounging facilities perfect for `workcation,' a term that caters to the trend among travelers who want to enjoy the beach while working.
