PHILIPPINES - Boracay Island

Thanks to Nina for the card.  In her card she wrote 'for now, Boracay is inaccessible because of an ongoing goverment rehabilitation rpoject to deal with illegal sewage pumps and pipes that lead to the sea.  Boracay will re-open by November this year.'


"Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 kilometres south of Manila and 2 kilometres  off the northwest tip of Panay Island in Western Visayas region of the Philippines. Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards from numerous travel publications and agencies. The island comprises the barangays of Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, and Yapak in the municipality of Malay, in Aklan Province. The island is administered by the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority and the provincial government of Aklan. Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. As of 2013 it was emerging among the top destinations for tranquility and nightlife."
