Boracay Xplore, Malay (2025)

01/01/2025

"Where are the trash bins?"

That’s what a foreigner asked on the Boracay beachfront today. Not where the best drinks are, not where the sunset’s best viewed. No. Trash bins. The guy was wandering around with empty bottles in hand, trying to find a place to dispose of them properly. Spoiler: it wasn’t easy.

We ended up taking his bottles because we saw him struggling, and he was so grateful you’d think we handed him gold. But it got me thinking—how determined does one have to be just to do the right thing here? How hard are we making it to keep paradise clean for everyone?

So, here’s a thought: If we’re as quick to snap pics of Boracay’s beauty as we are to leave our trash behind, maybe we should also ask—where are the trash bins? And more importantly, why aren’t there enough of them?

It’s not just the tourists’ responsibility to care. It’s ours.

Passenger Frustrations: Waiting Under the Sun at Boracay Airport

Recently, a passenger aired his frustration on social media regarding the experience at Boracay Airport. In his post, he questioned why passengers are forced to queue outside the airport, exposed to the sun, just to check in for their flights. He wrote:

"Why naman ganito Boracay Airport? Bakit kailangan pumila at mabilad sa labas ng airport para makapag check in sa flight? Bakit kailangan tawagin kapag flight na namin ang next na mag open for check in? Maaga kami para sa flight namin para pumila sa labas?" 🤷🏻‍♂️

The image accompanying his post showed a long line of travelers waiting outside the terminal building, seemingly under less-than-ideal conditions. This sparked concern and conversation about whether the airport’s procedures could be improved, especially considering Boracay’s status as a world-renowned tourist destination.

The Problem

The primary issue seems to be the lack of indoor waiting areas for passengers who arrive early. Instead of being allowed inside the terminal, passengers are required to wait outside until their flight is called for check-in. This has led to discomfort, as travelers are left to stand in line under the hot sun, sometimes for extended periods.

Potential Solutions

There are several ways Boracay Airport could address these concerns:

1. Create a Better Waiting Area: Setting up shaded areas or indoor seating for those waiting to check in could alleviate some of the discomfort caused by heat and long queues.

2. Adjust Check-in Procedures: Allowing passengers to check in earlier, or at least providing an organized queuing system inside the terminal, would streamline the process.

3. Improve Communication: Better signage and clearer communication about the check-in process could help reduce the confusion and frustration passengers currently face.

A Call for Change

As Boracay remains a top tourist destination, it’s crucial for the airport to offer a positive experience from start to finish. Long lines and outdoor waiting areas do not reflect the level of service expected at such a high-traffic hub. Improving the system would not only enhance the travel experience but also prevent complaints like this one from becoming a common sentiment among visitors.

This passenger's post highlights an important issue that needs attention, not just for the sake of convenience but also for the safety and comfort of everyone flying in and out of Boracay.

Boracay's Low Tourist Season Could Use Insights Like This

Boracay Island, currently experiencing a lull in tourist activity, could benefit from a post like this one from "The Moonlighting Doctor," which dispels the myth that Boracay is expensive. While Siargao and Bohol continue to draw crowds even during the rainy season, Boracay seems to be overlooked—perhaps because people still perceive it as a costly destination. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

The Moonlighting Doctor breaks it down clearly: you can enjoy Boracay for as little as 15k all-in for a 4-day trip. With smart choices like visiting off-season, skipping pricey activities, and opting for more affordable hotels and meals, the island becomes a surprisingly budget-friendly getaway.

Instead of loading up on tours and activities, he suggests taking in the island’s natural beauty by walking along the shorelines, from Angol to Diniwid or even Puka Beach. The scenery alone makes the trip worth it—and it's free!

If Boracay can spread the word that its charm and beauty are affordable, especially during non-peak seasons, more travelers may rediscover why it's been a top destination for so long.

So, for those who think Boracay is overrated or overpriced, perhaps it's time to rethink your travel plans—Boracay awaits, and it doesn’t have to break the bank!
