Located north of the island of Pinay (Aklan), in the region of the Western Visayas, the island of Boracay is one of the main tourist destinations throughout the Philippines. Due to that fame, Boracay suffered the impact of uncontrolled mass tourism to the maximum extent. The impact was so serious that the government with the idea of recovering the environment and laying the foundations for a new tourist development in the area, closed the island to tourism during the last semester of the year 2018. Thanks to this closure and the new plans of tourist development, Boracay is going back to that state of conservation that made it be considered for years as one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
