A Review On Boracay Island, Phillipines
As one of the best islands and beaches in the world, the government has imposed several new regulations and prohibitions to preserve Boracay Island. One of these regulations is the limitation on the number of tourists who come. If previously there were 40,000 visitors to Boracay Island per day, now it is limited to 19,200 visitors. The way to implement this rule is to control the number of rooms available. During the rehabilitation period, the government has urged a number of hotels and restaurants that are not suitable to close or renovate their properties. On 16 November 2018, 211 hotels again received permission to accept bookings and reservations. Did you know that Boracay, which was initiated to be the second best beach in Asia, will be temporarily closed for the next 6 months by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Starting from April to October, this beautiful island, Boracay Island will be closed first for the rehabilitation process of environmental improvement.
If you are planning to visit Boracay, make sure to book a room at an accredited hotel. You can check the list of accredited accommodation through the official website of the Philippines Tourism Board. In addition, to control the number of tourists entering the government, the government also asked airlines to reduce the number of flights to Kalibo and Caticlan. Then there is a prohibition for tourists to drink liquor and smoke. Although this rule applies all over the island, some of the bars that I went to provide and sell liquor and allow guests to smoke. Previously, Boracay was known as a place to party. It is almost the same as Bali, where the cafes hold live music on the beach which makes the Boracay night very lively. However, Boracay's nightlife is far from being a party place. The music from these cafes is far from being noisy. The beach, which was once bright with chandeliers on coconut trees, is now dark. Before 12 o'clock in the evening, the island was already sleeping Even so, for me vacationing in Boracay is still very enjoyable.
Before flying to Boracay, we had stayed for 4 days in Manila. From Manila to Boracay you can go through 2 airports on Panay Island, namely Godofredo P. Ramos Airport in Caticlan and International Airport in Kalibo, which is continued by boat to Boracay Island. Ticket prices from Manila to Kalibo are indeed cheaper than those to Caticlan. However, the journey from Kalibo to the Jetty Port, which is about 100 km away, must be taken by bus or van for 2-3 hours. Meanwhile, from Caticlan, the trip to the Jetty Port is only about 5 minutes.
