The
Caticlan Jetty Port has recorded over 45 thousand tourist arrivals in Boracay
this Holy Week.
According
to the Port’s Special Operations Officer III Jean Pontero, from April 14 to
April 20 the recorded tourist arrivals reached up to 45, 767.
Pontero
said that this year’s record is higher compared to last year’s 39,120 persons.
Most of
the vacationers during the Holy Week were local tourists who opted to spend
their long holiday on the island.
The
Department of Tourism had previously said that they aim to reach 1.5million
tourists this 2014.
The
mentioned port had fortunately encountered no difficulties as thousands flooded
the island in the past week.
This is
due to their preparedness particularly on the security of the area.
Meanwhile,
the influx of tourist in Boracay for summer vacation continues with Korean and
Taiwanese nationals and even local guests at the top of the list.
