Foreign tourists coming to the island resort of Boracay outnumbered local tourists early this year.

For the month of March alone the Provincial Tourism Operations Office (PTOO) in Aklan recorded a total of 62,970 tourists having visited Boracay Island.

Of the total number of visitors, 39,615 were foreign tourists while 23,355 were domestic tourists.

However, tourist arrival in March this year is lower compared to the same period in 2010 which earned the tourism industry revenues of some P1,157,602,698.

The PTOO believes the decrease in the number of visitors was due to the onset of rainfall spawned by the inclement weather prevailing elsewhere in the region during the first quarter of this year. (more…)

World-famous Boracay Island might lose its unique white sand beaches in 30 years or less if authorities push through with plans of flattening a hill in northern Caticlan, Aklan province to make way for extension of its airport’s runway.

Boracay News

Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Mines and Geosciences Bureau (DENR-MGB) geologist Dr. Ricarte Javellosa warned that levelling such hill to the ground would change wind patterns in the area, causing white sand particles in the vicinity to be moved and deposited in Tablas Strait, instead of Boracay Island.

”Boracay’s white sand beaches can be gone in no time,” he said on the side of Kapihan sa Sulo forum.

He raised necessity of maintaining the mound, noting ‘Amihan’ and ‘Habagat’ winds converging in Caticlan on each side of the hill are deflected towards Boracay Island, enabling these to transport white sand particles there. (more…)
