BoracayIsland makes list of world's best beaches
The Manila Times, June 19, 2007
BORACAY, Aklan: Internet search engine Yahoo! and popular website
AskMen.com included this resort island on their list of the world's
10 best beaches.
Yahoo! ranked Boracay seventh while AskMen.com, which claims more than
five million site visitors monthly, placed Boracay on the eighth spot.
According to Web traffic analysis companies, Yahoo! has been the most
visited website on the Internet, with more than 412 million unique
users.
AskMen.com, on the other hand, is a Canadian-based, free online
men's Web portal. Its sections feature topics that are pertinent to
men. Among its sections are Fashion & Lifestyle, Health & Sports and
Dating & Love.
With this positive exposure in the worldwide Web, Gov. Carlito Marquez
of Aklan is confident that business will be good in this resort island.
Boracay is famous for its powdery white sand, pristine waters and lush
tropical forests.
In coming out with their lists, Yahoo! and AskMen.com emphasized the
"numerous positive feedback" they received from website readers
and the wide range of available attractions each chosen beach offers.
In late 1980s, this resort island was named by two travel magazines as
one of the world's top 10 beaches, too. The title disappeared after
the issue on coliform contamination hit this resort island in mid-1990s.
Marquez attributed Boracay's positive image abroad to the
Department of Tourism's aggressive promotional activities.
Boracay's two primary tourism beaches, White Beach and Bulabog
Beach, are located on opposite sides of the island's narrow central
area. White Beach faces westwards and Bulabog Beach faces eastwards. The
island also has several other beaches.
White Beach is the main tourism beach. It is a bit over four kilometers
long and is lined with resorts, hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, and
other tourism-related businesses.
In the central portion, for about two kilometers, there is a footpath
known as the beachfront path separating the beach itself from the
establishments located along it.
North and south of the beachfront path, beachfront establishments do
literally front along the beach itself.
Several roads and paths connect the beachfront path with Boracay's
main road, a vehicular road which runs the length of the island. At the
extreme northern end of White Beach, a footpath runs around the headland
there and connects White Beach with Diniwid Beach.
Across the island from White Beach is Bulabog Beach, a secondary tourism
beach and Boracay's main windsurfing and kiteboarding area.
