Tourists
in Boracay are fond of sandcastles and sand lanterns, although building them is
prohibited.
In fact,
the guests’ holiday vacation seemed incomplete if they cannot take pictures
with what others call, another tourist attraction in the island.
Many of
them are also “okay” with whatever amount of donations the children and
teenagers, who are posing as the sand arts’ owners, are asking.
The
authorities however are worried about the said activity’s popularity.
This is
because, aside from it could alter the natural terrain of the shoreline the
sand castles and lanterns are becoming an obstacle to those who are walking by
or having a stroll.
Some
tourists and vacationers on the other hand appreciates the sand arts that the
children are making, adding that it displays their creativity.
The
authorities’ end meanwhile, reminds of an equal penalty to those caught building
sandcastles and sand lanterns, particularly those without permits.
