ILOILO CITY, Iloilo (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): Tourist arrivals in Boracay reached a pandemic-high record in December as visitors flocked to the island for the holidays.

While still lower than prepandemic daily arrivals ranging from 4,000 to 6,000 tourists, the 113,596 travellers who visited the island-resort last month were the highest since January 2020, when 167,070 tourists went to the island just before travel was restricted when the Covid-19 pandemic struck two months after.
