Along with the influx
of tourist in Boracay this super-peak season, is the possible worry of the
trash they may leave behind.
However, this is not
a problem, according to Island Administrator Glenn Sacapaño.
In fact he said, that
these tourists are already informed, not only through the reminders they may
meet along the way as they travel to Boracay - by means of signage and the
likes - and the reminders of the resorts or establishments they've booked
into.
But most of these
travelers have been in other tourist’s destinations, both locally and internationally,
thereby understands the manners when it comes to garbage management.
The problem of the
proper waste disposal, Sacapaño added, actually
lies on the locals.
In others words,
tourist appears to be more disciplined compared to some locals who seemed to just
let the constant reminders pass the other ear.
According to the
Island Administrator they conduct a regular meeting and or seminars to resorts
and establishments on the proper waste management and disposal, adding
that assessors and or inspectors are also in action monitoring both the front
and back beach areas.
When asked about the
Municipal Tourism Office’s Beautification program, he said this is one of the
LGU’s ways to inculcate to the local community the significance of their cooperation.
And this is to
instill to the public that tourism is our major livelihood, and that we want
the tourists to arrive at a clean and secure Boracay, fitting its title as the
best beach in the world.
