The Culture and Heritage of Boracay.

Boracay is a small, tropical island located in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines which has become one of the country’s top tourist destinations. However, beyond its picturesque scenery lies a rich culture and heritage that still thrives.

The indigenous Ati people were the original inhabitants of Boracay before it became a popular tourist spot. Visitors can still witness their vibrant traditions through various cultural shows and performances on the island.

The Ati-Atihan Festival, which takes place every January, is one such event that showcases its music, dance, and unique costumes.

Aside from its native culture, Boracay also has a rich history influenced by Spanish colonization in the 16th century.

 

The People of Boracay.

The locals of Boracay are some of the most welcoming and friendly people in the world, always willing to help visitors with anything they need.

The current population of Boracay is around 12,000 people. Most are native Filipinos who have lived on the island for generations. However, a growing ex-pat community comprises mainly entrepreneurs who have fallen in love with the island’s beauty and potential as a tourist destination.

Despite being heavily impacted by tourism over the years, the people of Boracay remain resilient and proud of their home. They work hard to preserve its natural beauty while embracing new opportunities along with tourism development.

Rediscovering the Magic.

Despite being closed for six months in 2018 due to concerns about environmental degradation and over-tourism, Boracay remains as beautiful as ever. It has since reopened with stricter regulations and only allows a limited number of visitors per day.

This has resulted in an even more exclusive and sustainable experience for those lucky enough to visit. 

Whether you want to bask under the sun or participate in water activities like snorkeling or diving, Boracay offers an amazing and relaxing experience.
