Only guests with confirmed reservations at establishments compliant with requirements of the Department of Tourism (DoT), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will be allowed to enter the island when it reopens to the public on Oct. 26.

MANILA – Cebu Pacific Air has reminded Caticlan and Kalibo-bound passengers that they would be requested to show proof of confirmed bookings in compliant establishments before entering tourist island Boracay upon its reopening later this month.

Only guests with confirmed reservations at establishments compliant with requirements of the Department of Tourism (DoT), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will be allowed to enter the island, Cebu Pacific said in an advisory.

“To avoid any possible inconvenience, we strongly advise guests who are travelling or planning to go to Boracay Island starting Oct. 26, 2018 to check if their chosen hotel or resort has been certified compliant and permitted to operate,” it said.

Only 68 out of the estimated 600 resorts and accommodations in Boracay have complied with government requirements and have been authorized to receive guests upon the island’s reopening on Oct. 26, the DOT said in an earlier statement.

Boracay will reopen to the public on Oct. 26 after it was closed for an island-wide cleanup.
