The
Department of Tourism is looking to reach a target of 1.5 million tourist
arrivals in Boracay this year.
According to
DOT Officer-in-Charge, Tim Ticar, they’ve already recorded more than 700 thousand
tourists who arrived in the island from January to July 2013.
A record,
which gladdened the DOT as this will give a huge impact to Boracay’s tourism
industry.
Ticar is
also happy about the fact that despite the inclement weather brought about by
the rainy season, many visitors are still flocking to Boracay.
At the moment,
the Department of Tourism is confident that the 1.5 million-target will be
achieved.
Meanwhile,
Ticar reminds the public to be kind or to properly deal with the tourists, not
only for Boracay but for the entire country, as the industry greatly helps
every Filipino family.
