“We are very excited to give summer a refreshed twist with the 17^th NESTEA Beach Experience. Instead of having the beach volleyball competition as the only main focus of the event, we are transforming NESTEA Beach into a one of a kind summer experience that can be enjoyed by everyone. This year, we are making the most anticipated event of the summer even more exciting as we bring the NESTEA Beach experience to the next level during the season’s most anticipated weekend: LABORacay.” said Jedessa Leyte, Marketing Promotions and Events Manager for NESTEA Beach.
