Boracay was originally home to the Ati tribe. Boracay is part of Aklan Province, which became an independent province on April 25, 1956. Decades ago, Boracay Island was an almost possessively guarded secret so that only a few knew of its existence. Tourism only began to develop in the 1970s, it is said, a foreign movie crew accidentally "discovered" this island paradise.In the 1980s, the island became popular with backpackers. Since then, Boracay has gradually become a cosmopolitan tourism destination and, in the 21st century, has become one of the major tourist destinations in the Philippines.
the Boracay Island is the white sand.and the one tourist spot in Panay Island.
Boracay was not a name to be heard until 1970, when some travelers accidentally stumbled upon this serene island. Some says that it was a movie team that showed the world this wonderful island of Philippines. Boracay does not have much history to discuss its emergence. Neither is it known for its culture or art nor for the grand old architectural monuments.
Boracay was nothing less than a fishing village until a few decades. Today it is tourist delight for those who love the Three Sun, Sand and Sea.
