Developing Pagudpud beaches as ‘the next Boracay’
Excerpt
A female lawmaker and tourism advocate wants Saud Beach and Blue Lagoon Beach in Pagudpud town, Ilocos Norte to be the next major tourist destination in the country, but says their development should be guided with sustainability and preservation objectives. House Deputy Majority Leader Ria Christina FariÅ„as, representing the First District of Ilocos Norte, says the twin beaches of Saud and Blue Lagoon have the makings of the “next Boracay,” given their creamy white and powdery sand that is comparable to that of Aklan’s island resort. Ria believes that tourism can unleash the economic potential of Ilocos Norte province which has spectacular natural wonders as well as key cultural and historical sites.
