16 1/2 hours For A Day And A Half In Paradise





I recently flew sixteen and a half hours for a day and a half in paradise. The annual board meeting for Seabird International Resort was one of the best meetings the resort has seen in years. I was surprised as to the development the island had undergone since my last visit in 2004, comparing it to my very first visit in 1991. I miss the "old boracay", but the "new boracay" brings in tourism. What price do we have to pay for riches and wealth. WE have to ask ourselves what are we willing to give up to get what we want. If we want the region where the paradise island is located to become a prime tourist destination in Asia, then we have to give up some of the natural beauty that it has; but Shakey's Pizza and Starbucks Coffee....I'm not so sure about that. Crowds of people, the main thoroughfare was like "Las Ramblas" in Barcelona. Fortunately, we have a great location at Seabird International Resort. We're located just off the main path, just a few steps away from the beach so we can offer quiet, secure accommodations for our guests. If you're ever in Boracay, please stop by and ask about our rates.
