“Touri-Hotspot” / Tourist hotspot

Boracay Island, one of the tourist magnet beaches of the Philippines. I’d never gone while I was growing up there, and only experienced it as a visitor decades later. I’m still working through the mess of complicated feelings that this trip brought up for me, but being on this beautiful beach was a moment of quiet magic.

In fact, he even said, ‘There should have been a public hearing.'" #Boracay #healthcare #travel #tourism #Philippines
