For Steven, a British national who visited Boracay for the first time, only few places in the world with white sand have captured his interest. On top of his list is Boracay, which has remained a top destination for domestic and foreign visitors, judging from the influx of tourists ferried to the island every year.
With apparent congestion posing as a threat to Boracay growth, an expansion project is taking shape in Caticlan, the takeoff point from mainland Panay. “The five-year master plan to establish a marina and hospital-resort type building to house malls, resorts, shops and other amenities aims to decongest Boracay,” explained Niven Maquirang, Caticlan port administrator.
The port administrator is optimistic that the expansion will further address concerns on increasing tourist arrivals, modernize the facilities and will also entice tourists to also patronize other destinations in the neighboring municipalities.
In 2009, Caticlan Jetty Port’s collection increased by 7.24 percent compared to 2008 with tourist swarming one of the world’s best beaches as early as October. While a few destinations are now taking their share of the tourist pie, Boracay has remained to excite visitors , particularly on water sports activities, beachside parties, accommodation and amenities, fun or simply a vacation spot for families and friends.
New hotels and restaurants, as well as high-end establishments, spas and entertainment centers, offer a wide range of treats to visitors.
Boracay once more sparkles for summer vacationers out to enjoy their splash through a variety of water sports and activities for all age, like fly fish, island hopping, snorkeling, scuba diving, speedboat, parasailing, tube ride, wake boarding, jet ski, reef walking, water ski, banana boat.
Romy Latap, a licensed tour coordinator of the Boracay Mabuhay Host Association, Inc., said one of the newest activities is called Zorbie – a giant inflatable sphere that brings adrenaline rush and nerve-wracking roll for the more adventurous.
It’s not only the fabled sunset that attracts crowds to the beach front. At night, Boracay transforms itself and becomes a haven for partygoers and bar hoppers.
As a visitor pointed out, Boracay night life offers wide choices – from bars, good food, or just the back-to-nature star gazing activity at the white-sand beach.
