The Department of Tourism in Western Visayas is pushing for the appointment of an administrator for Boracay as one way to save the island-resort from deterioration brought by unregulated commercial development.
DoT regional director Edwin Trompeta has recommended to Tourism Secretary Joseph "Ace" Durano, who also chairs the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA), that the PTA appoint an administrator to oversee the day-to-day implementation of the regulations concerning development projects on the island.
The administrator will also coordinate the projects and programs of local government units and other agencies, according to Trompeta.
