Officials of Aklan province and the Malay town are hoping to host one of the meetings of the Asia Pacific Economic Conference (APEC) Summit that will be held in the Philippines in 2015.
The world-famous island-resort of Boracay is the major tourist attraction of the area.
Municipal tourism officer Felix Delos Santos said they have submitted a bid to host the meeting of the APEC committees involving transportation and finance.
Other places that have expressed intent to host the APEC Summit meetings are the province of Albay, and the cities of Bacolod and Iloilo.
A source who requested anonymity said Boracay is only a small island and cannot accommodate the events during the highlights of the summit.
It would be a logistical and security nightmare so we expressed our intent to host the meetings on transportation and finance where around 11 countries are involved, the source added.
APEC is composed of 21-member states, including United States; Australia; Brunei Darussalam; Canada; Chile; China; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; Malaysia; Mexico; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Peru; The Philippines; Russia; Singapore; Republic of Korea; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; and Vietnam.
