If you ask me which includes to the premier tourist destinations in the Philippines, one of the first places that could pop into my mind would probably be BORACAY.

Boracay Island is a tropical paradise in the province of Aklan. Internationally known not just for its fine, white sand beaches, Boracay is somewhat a destination you would not want to miss when you visited the Philippines. I’ve been to this Island so many times, but still the feels and vibe in the island wouldn’t stop me on coming back. A trip to Boracay Island would require you to make multiple transfers from plane to the sea. And because of the small airport in Caticlan, flights are limited to local aircrafts and no direct flights can be booked specially if you are coming from outside the country.
