Top 4 Boracay Must Haves

Like going anywhere, visiting hotels Boracay require money, time and effort. These three things are hard to get all at the same time, hence, you have to be extra careful in packing to make sure you are not leaving anything so important.

To help you with your paking here are among the seemingly not so necessary things that you have to have before boarding to plane:

1.Digital SLR Camera

I know no one would disagree that camera is the heart of every travel. You go to places not only to relax but to collect memories with your friends and family. it is very important to have a concrete object to represent your memorable days. and, one of the best object is picture.

I have no technical know-how on camera so i just refer to Amazon Bestseller list. I found out that lately, Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera is gaining credibility among Amazon buyers because of its low price and quality pictures. so, if you are not so techy like me, i suggest you prefer those that most people buy because these people are knowledgable on these stuff.

2. Book

What i hate the most about traveling is the long wait in the airport. It could have been a good time to chat with friends but most of the time, i travel alone and ask my friends mo meet me at the venue. The long wait always makes me feel loner and miserable. I know that this must not be the case but this is horrible feeling is hunting me. To avoid feeling this, having a good book to read is beneficial. Personally I am into reading business books but lately, this book called A Short second Life of Bree Tanner of Stephenie Meyer is getting my attention.

3. Shorts

If this is your first time in the Philippines, let me remind you that even if Boracay is used to tourists, the people visiting the place are mostly conservative. You may wear as little cloth as you want when you are on the beach but visiting nearby places requires you to wear a little conservative.

Having a good pair of basic Levi's the boyfriend women shorts would be a good way to strike a balance between simplicity and comfort.

remember to bring as many shorts or skirts if you don't want to expose yourself to the sun because Philippines is known for giving tourists a deep tan.

4. Laptop

In contrary to the views of many people, Filipinos are loosing their loyalty to cell phones. Today, Philippine occupants are turning to laptops especially the mini ones after seeing greater use of this gadget. In fact, Philippines is one of the countries that anticipated the much awaited Apple IPAD.

Hence, wifi and other means of acquiring internet connection is never a problem.

The things on the list are among the things that will fill he gap of waiting period in you way to hotels boracay.

Ati-atihan Festival: Putting Color In and Out

Similar with several colors representing the Ati-atihan Festival in Panay, the story behind this celebration is full of color,or controversy to put things straight.

While it is always virtuous to grant forgiveness, it is logical to give credit to where it is due. 

Today, people are going to ati-atihaan festival with the Sto. Nino in mind. This could be a good point but history will reveal that Ati-atihan Festival is rooted on the friendship between immigrants from Borneo and Ati (Negritos).

According to the history, a group of people from Indonesia bought a piece of land from the Ati. These Ati people are first occupants of the Philippine Island; they are brown in complexion, small, and kinky haired. 

On the agreement, the People from Indonesia was able to bought the low lands and the Ati decided to stay on the mountain top. However, famine came. Desperate to survive, the Ati came down to low lands and asked for some food to eat. The other group gladly offered food and from then on, the friendship tie was established.

In celebration of this friendship, the Atis danced in honor of the People from Borneo and the Borneo people painted their faces with black to show the same gratitude.

However, the Spaniard came to the Philippines and inserted religious belief of the celebration. Years passed and the people forgot about the real essence of the the Ati-Atihan Festival.

Today, most tourists who comes to Panay to hop from one island to another or splurge in various hotels boracay are including ati-atihan festival in their list of venues. Every year, people from hotels boracay are washing their feet off to come shoulder to shoulder with other tourist to witness the fetival on the third week of January. 

Colorful costumes and tireless dancing characterize this celebration of Filipinos hospitality.

The History of Tourism Success

Boracay is considered as Philippines' major source of tourism revenue. Every year, it reaches a minimum of one million visits from foreigners around the world. Americans used to top the numbers but today, more and more Koreans are taking record as the most frequent visitors of Boracay.

Boracay used to be the place for serene reflection until a film maker discovered the beauty of Boracay. rm then on, Boracay has been a spotted tourist destination in the country. Several hotels boracay, spas, restaurants, cofee shops and other commercial facilities started to mushroom around the sea shore.

While Boracay is known to rival against international beach destinations such as Caribbean, Thailand, and Hawaii, government sees to it that Boracay island hopping is accessible to Filipino people. Cheap hotels boracay and promo flights are there for grabs for those who cannot afford to splurge int he place. For as low as 600 pesos (13 USD) anyone can enjoy an overnight stay in a nearby hotel Boracay.

However, if the budget is less of an issue, there are plenty of luxurious Boracay hotels scattering the beach front. One of the most expensive hotels, Discovery Shores Hotel charges 30,000 pesos or (650 USD) for a two nigh stay in a two bedroom suite.

Of course, hotel stay is not the main purpose of visiting the place. Boracay offers various activities that requires much of participation such as snorkeling,diving, sailing, wind surfing, jet skiing, paraw sailing, hiring motorbikes, horse riding, D'Wall climbing and all night partying.

The night parties in the place is interesting for everyone since the island often houses several Hollywood and Philippine celebrities. They are scattering the island just like most of common people do.

These parties are mostly happening on the sands of White Beach, Puka Beach, Baling and Hai Beach while most of photo lovers prefer to stay in The Bat Cave and Mt. Luho
