An executive of the Shangri-la Boracay has predicted a brighter future for the tourism industry in this resort island.

Mark Kirk, general manager of the Shangri-la-Boracay said that they are promoting Boracay in Europe, the United States and Latin American countries and are receiving positive feedback.

Early this year, Holywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie visited the Shangri-la Boracay as part of their vacation. Their visit was made confidential upon the request of the couple.

“We see a bright future for Boracay tourism. We are confident that our Boracay resort would be one of the best tourism attractions in this resort island,” Kirk said.

The management of the Shangri-la Boracay has opened the new hotel to officers and members of local business organizations here recently.
