Excerpt
When Boracay reopens on Oct. 26, fewer tourists will be allowed into the island and they will have to follow strict regulations that will help preserve the world-famous tourist spot, officials said on Friday. Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said President Duterte ordered a limit to the number of tourists to sustain the island’s “carrying capacity” based on a study commissioned by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The study showed that the island could accommodate only 19,215 tourists at any given time.
