Chinese tourists expressed interests in coming to Boracay for Chinese New Year

The Department of Tourism (DoT) received several requests from the different travel agencies expressing interests to bring both Chinese and Taiwanese tourists for the forthcoming Chinese New Year Revelry.

Tim Ticar, officer in charge of DoT Boracay, said that the travel agencies wanted to temporarily allow their accredited tourists guides to bring both Chinese and Taiwanese tourists during the season of the New Year.

The requests developed after the local government of Malay recently are not allowing tourists guides to come to Boracay without undergoing processes of accreditation.

"I have already referred their requests to the local government. We are just awaiting their reply on such requests," Ticar said Monday.

The local government enforces ban against accredited tourists guides in this resort island as this will be unfair against legitimate tourists guides.
