The country’s
newly implemented law on cigarettes and liquors or the Sin Tax bill does not
affect Boracay that much.
This is what the
Department of Tourism believes, according to DOT Officer in Charge Tim Ticar.
He said that
this new law won’t affect the tourism industry on the island particularly those
foreign tourists who are smokers and are fond of going out and or clubbing.
He explained
that if these “sin products’” price increases for a few pesos, this won’t be
much for the tourists on the island because it costs so much more in their
country compared to ours.
That is why,
Ticar added, there is no need to worry about the effects of the Sin Tax Bill to
the tourism industry in Boracay, since some additional peso doesn't seem to be of
a bother to the tourists.
