Kalibo is the capital of the province of Aklan, in the northwest of Panay Island, Philippines. It is a First Class Municipality and the “International Gateway” of the Western Visayas Region, practically located at the center of all coastal municipalities of Aklan province.
The native kalibonhon population of 100,000 explodes up to 350,000 during daytime especially due to influx of tourist to Boracay island. As the commercial and educational center, it caters not only to the people of Aklan but also to transients coming from other nearby provinces, cities and countries. As a major tourism gateway, the influx of tourists to Boracay Island catalyzes rapid economic expansion and municipal landscape development. Tourism activity peaks in the heart of Kalibo every January as the yearly celebration of the world-famous Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan Festival.
