Clean Living in the Pristine Island

After the 6-month rehabilitation period of Boracay, the original version of the island was restored. It went back to its crystal clear waters and powdery white sand image while parties were reduced to keep the place clean and tidy despite the influx of local and foreign tourists.

Moreover, some commercial establishments were demolished in order to make way for the implementation of new environmental regulations. The beach front was cleared so that tourists will have more space to enjoy the shore. Restaurants and hotels nearby were required to follow the sewerage and disposal policies.

Stricter Controls for a Greener Tourism

The imposition of 25 meters plus 5 meters distance from the shore made the island more conducive to the environmental efforts done by the government to restore the beauty of Boracay. You won’t see beach beds and other structures in the shoreline anymore while enjoying a clearer view of the island with coconut trees.
