January 25, 2025

The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) plan to meet with local government officials of Aklan province and the municipality of Malay, home to the famous Boracay island, to address complaints from tourism businesses regarding alleged "excessive fees" and delays experienced by some tourists.

- By GHIO ONG

During the Kapihan sa Manila Manila Prince Hotel media forum on Jan. 22, a journalist raised to Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco complaints from hotels and restaurant owners and operators in Boracay that the island has not been given enough space for promotion and that low occupancy has forced them to close or sell their properties.
