Uniform tariff for sea sports activities mulled in Boracay Island

The local government of Malay will soon implement a uniform tariff for various sea sports activities in Boracay Island.
Island administrator Glen Sacapano said this developed after they received numerous complaints from tourists that they are being charged expensively by sea sports "commissioners."
Often, "commissioners" leave them alone as soon as they get the usually excessive payment from tourists wanting to experience sea sports.
"Commissioners" here are referred to as freelance agents of different sea sports operators and is given a fee by every client tourist.
"These gave a bad impression to Boracay as a fun destination in the country. The local government wants to regulate sea sports activities to prevent both foreign and tourists from being duped," Sacapano said.
By implementing the tariff, he said this would lawfully control sea sports operators to implement a uniform set of rates to their clients.
Among the popular sea sports activities here are diving, snorkeling, helmet diving, banana boat, and island hopping, among others.
