Boracay, one of Conde Nast Traveler's top islands in the world, is part of the Municipality of Malay, Province of Aklan in the Visayas region. It is one of the Philippines' pride aside from Palawan. Despite its closure for six months, the island is still a favorite among local as well as international tourists.
Being one of the top means that amenities should be world-class. It should be perfect for everyone who wish to enjoy the island vibe that is typically Asian yet comparable to resorts in other Asian destinations such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia or Maldives.
The beauty of Boracay is mesmerizing. I am proud that it is in the Philippines and we have a gift from nature that we can boast to the world. With its recent closure and rehabilitation, it is more enticing to visit now more than ever.
Several events and activities can be done and offered in Boracay. Beach weddings are held there by those who want to veer away from the usual church weddings. Conventions are also held in the island. Activities such as banana boat ride as well as parasailing are only some that one can do in Boracay.
Good thing, the local government unit as well as the Department of Tourism and the Department of Natural Resources in coordination with the Department of Transportation and the Department of Public Works and Highways has devised a system of having routes in going to the island. A jetty port has been built so that the beachfront is not distracted with the sight of boats.
Whatever time of the day, Boracay radiates beauty at its best. As a Filipino, my wish is that it won't be spoiled by over-tourism and maintain its island mystique that can only be exuded by one the world's best that is BORACAY.
