The dollar image of Boracay.
Author: Derek Williams
On
local level there is a perception apparently roaming around that a
Holiday at the
worlds almost best beach, that's Boracay Island, has to be paid in US
dollars.
Boracay
is part of the peninsula Philippines and 1 of the 7107 islands (at low
tide).
It
is so extra ordinary in the whole world that there was world wide
interest in this
Tiny Island by TV networks, contest panels and publishers who lifted
this Boracay
Island, in a relatively short time, to an nr 1 world class Spot.
This
attracted entrepreneurs from the USA, Switzerland, Germany, Greece,
Spain, Italy and etc., who where long ago visitors to a primitive
resort and/or spouses of Filipinas, Filipino retirees and some local
business people, who invested their money, blood, sweat and tears,
quit risky (see our related article about real estate), to create the
Boracay Hotels, the Boracay beach resorts, the budget
accommodations. Include the downtrend of the value of the Philippine
Peso...
If you show the potentials of an nr 1 Spot
for holidaying world wide you get automatically tourist from over the
whole world.
In
the Philippines there are 2 currency's important, de local peso (PhP)
and the US Dollar, thus it was quit logic to charge US dollars, not
risking the flip flopping PhP and the daily changing exchange table,
mixing up the minds of foreign tourists.Banks are not that long at
Boracay.
Most of the middle and high end resorts and
boracay hotels still have their offering in US $
This
all imaged Boracay for the Filipino a dollar island (read: expensive).
Let
us not forget that Boracay Island is created by the businesses without
any help, assistance nor support but substantial and instrumental in
the development of the Island, not only the Island, but the province
of Aklan as well. They did a great job
image building and promoting the Island of Boracay.
But
the average Filipino, curious to experience this Boracay Island
themselves, started to make short visits, mostly 2 nights/3 days at a
special offer, finding out that hotels, resorts, restaurants, food
stalls, the market, very much catering the low budget guests, who most
of al become regular visitors afterwards, knowing now where
to go, sleep, eat, and entertain themselves, mostly including their
family.
We
firmly believe that Boracay Island IS accessible for guests from all
walks of life, multi cultural, young and a little older, light and
darker, rich and not so rich, a mix to join and live life.
A
more important image of Boracay Island is the coziness, the great food
offerings, the entertainment, the safety, but foremost the guests.
It's never booooooring. Combine this with white sand beach, hotels and
resort facades like Boracay mandarin
peninsula Boracay, Boracay Beach resorts, Acanthus Boracay, all
great!!!
