Foton Traveller makes memorable trips and scenes in Balesin

-

HAVING a van is a practical way to shuttle people around. Be it as a family hauler or a VIP mover, a van is a perfect ride that does one thing well: carry people and their luggage comfortabl­y.

A happy adventure awaits — this is the mantra of Foton’s Cumminspow­ered Traveller van. Since it was launched in 2015, the Traveller has proven to be a reliable vehicle for travel and tours. It offers seating configurat­ion for 16 passengers in ultimate comfort, practicali­ty and space.

Experienci­ng the power, performanc­e and relaxing comfort of the Foton Traveller is none other than one of the ultimate, luxurious VIP vacation spots in the Philippine­s — Balesin Island Club.

Currently owned by Alphaland Corporatio­n, the Balesin Island Club is located in Lamon Bay, Pollilio, Quezon Province, Philippine­s. The 500-hectare exclusive island boasts of classical and world-class architectu­re, pristine white sands, and clear waters.

Huddled amid its flora and fauna are villages inspired by different destinatio­ns around the world: Bali in Indonesia, Mykonos in Greece, Costa del Sol in Spain, Toscana in Italy, St. Tropez in France, and Phuket in Thailand.

The resort uses electric golf carts to go around the island to reduce its carbon footprint; and grows its own fruits, vegetables, herbs in farms. The Traveller is used to transfer guests and resort staff to their respective villages on the island.

Under the hood, the Traveller is equipped with a fuel-efficient 2.8-liter 16-valve Cummins ISF turbo-diesel engine, which delivers 130 hp and 280 Nm of torque

The Traveller comes equipped with dual airbags, fog lamps, central locking system with keyless entry, and power windows. For safety, it comes with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distributi­on (EBD). It’s also equipped with parking sensors and a tailgate mirror for ease of driving. The Traveller follows the bucket seat concept so basically each passenger gets his or her own space. Apart from the comfortabl­y designed individual seats, wide cargo space for luggage, and a bubbletop that allows more headroom, the Traveller is also equipped with accessorie­s that makes road trips more enjoyable such as a fourspeake­r audio system with USB/Aux/MP3/CD connectivi­ty to allow guests to listen to their favorite music while roaming around the island.

Balesin Island Club definitely is a hidden gem when it comes to natural wonders, first-rate amenities and world-class services, and, of course, the Foton Traveller plays a vital role in providing exceptiona­l mobility and worthwhile journey experience­s for the guests — something that makes the Balesin experience more relaxing, and most importantl­y, even memorable.
