Cruise
ship industry in the island continuously grows.
This
is through the marketing effort of Department of Tourism (DOT), stakeholders
and other government agencies to bring more tourists in the island.
And
every time a cruise visits the island, agencies concerned prepares.
Sadly,
it was found out that not all business sectors are not happy with what is said
to be a ‘blessing’ brought about by the cruise ships.
Recently,
interviews with some establishments have been made to find out if their sales
increase every time a cruise ship arrives in Boracay.
Respectively,
souvenir shops and cooking service here revealed that cruise ship’s visit have
contributed a lot in their business, while others have no effect at all.
Meanwhile,
individuals were also asked about the matter, but some of them said that “only
the Jetty Port has benefited from the cruisers”, while others believe that it
contributed a lot to the tourist arrival of the island.
