Boracay, one of the most popular islands for tourists in the Philippines, is to close for six months on 26 April. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/boracay-philippines-island-closes-six-months-overtourism-pollution-climate-change-april-a8321376.htmlThe decision was announced by President Rodrigo Duterte on 4 April, after he dubbed the island a “cesspool” during a visit the previous month. The island is lauded for its white sand beaches, but problems of sewage being dumped into the sea by local hotels and restaurants, and buildings constructed too close to the shoreline, mean it is under threat. Let's Hope that Nature recovers. |
| Hopefully, a cleanup effort is mounted right away, a popular tourist destination being closed for half a year during tourism season is bad for the economy. |
 |
| Living in the Philippines for so long, I never even visited Boracay nor thought about it. Need to see that white sands someday. Maybe if I don't act like a shut-in, I can probably step one foot away from my daily route. |

| Boracay seems to have been an Insider Tip. It must have been very beautiful to travel there when there hadn't been that many Hotels there. But Greed seems to have had completely destroyed the Environment there. So much, that I highly doubt that they can clean it all up in just 6 Months, not even if they get international Help with Money and Expertise. |
| We've known about Boracay's deteriorating state and its terrible management here in the Philippines for years now. I'm just sad that they let it get this bad, never even had a chance to visit and see its beauty for myself. |
