Ten
Australian journalists visited the island of Boracay not to cover flood but to promote
the island in their nation.
According
to DOT Boracay Officer in Charge, Tim Ticar, the ten Australian journalists
arrived yesterday afternoon which is said to be one of the DOT’s partners in
tourism development and also considered of having a high number of tourists who
visited the island.
“DOT
is trying to build linkages with other agencies in different countries to step
up Boracay as one of the premiere beach destination in the world.” He said.
Meanwhile,
Ticar also added that they are thankful for not experiencing heavy rains that
causes flood in some areas.
Occasional
monsoon rains (habagat) intensified by tropical storm ‘Florita’ caused flooding
in low-lying areas in central Boracay and may have serious effects on tourism
on the country’s premier destination.
At
the same time, DOT gave credit to those who supported their programs as well as
encouraging the public and foreign tourists to follow the rules imposed by the
government for the benefit of all especially Boracay.
DOT
Boracay is also hoping for an immediate solution with regards to the issue of
flooding on the island.
