News and Update - Carabao Island Philippines
Boracay Property Holdings Inc. has already secured a contract to build an international airport that seeks to transform Carabao Island in Romblon province into the next Boracay.
Carabao Island, part of San Jose town south of Romblon, is a 15-minute boat ride from the smaller island of Boracay, and has the same white-sand beaches and pristine waters, according to Tourism Secretary Joseph Durano.
Durano said last year that the Carabao Island is about four times the size of the 10-sq. km. Boracay, which accommodated more than half a million visitors last year. It is closest to the Puka Beach, the northern part of Boracay.
Tourism Secretary Ace Durano last year said a Korean foreign company had committed to invest billions of pesos for an international airport, a marina, 27-hole championship golf course, 1,500-room hotel and resort, retirement villages and recreational facilities on Carabao Island.
San Jose Mayor Filipino Tandog confirmed that Boracay Property Holdings would construct the airport, adding that a consortium of Korean and Japanese investors would implement other components of the tourism masterplan. |

Carabao Beach Resorts
Carabao island is like Boracay during the eighties-the same powdery sand, crystalline water, and the same laid-back vibe.
News and Update
‘New Boracay’ set to rise.
Construction of the airport is expected to start in October 2008, according to the Romblon Investment and Tourism Promotions Office. San Jose Mayor Filipino Tandog said that the Carabao Island tourism masterplan had 28 components, with the foreign consortium carrying out the 27 components.
Boracay Property Holdings would build the airport component on the northern part of Carabao Island, but there was no assurance yet if the project would start next month.
