local.seafdecaqd.extract | The Philippines will limit the number of visitors setting foot on its most treasured island resort each day when it reopens to tourists on October 26 after a six-month rehabilitation effort, an environment official said on Wednesday. Boracay, located off the northern tip of the central island of Panay, is famed for its sugary white sands, turquoise waters, lively nightlife and abundant water sports, which attracted nearly 2 million domestic and foreign visitors last year. But in April, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the closure of the island, calling it a “cesspool,” because of sewage dumped into the sea and buildings constructed too close to the shore. | en |
