Placing the world-famous Boracay Island in Aklan among the top beach destinations in Asia, a popular travel website seems to agree that it is, as the latest tourism campaign says, more fun in the Philippines.
Described by the Department of Tourism as "paradise for certified sun-worshippers all over the world," Boracay is listed by online travel guide TripAdvisor as first in its Top 10 Beaches in Asia.
Malacañang says the honor shows the government's efforts to boost tourism are working.
