Boracay, Tropical island in Western Visayas, Philippines
White sand beaches stretch along 4 kilometers of coastline, with clear waters reaching depths of 30 meters near the shore points.
The island transformed from an agricultural settlement to a global destination after German travel literature mentioned its features in 1978.
The Boracay Ati-atihan festival preserves indigenous traditions through dance performances, music ceremonies, and local craft demonstrations.
Visitors access the island through Kalibo International Airport or Caticlan airport, followed by boat transfers from mainland Panay.
The 2018 renovation project established new environmental regulations, limiting daily tourist numbers and implementing strict waste management protocols.
