As the island of Boracay opens its doors to tourists once again after its rehabilitation (and now as COVID-19 cases are on all-time low), the local government of Malay, Aklan has since set up different Boracay Travel Requirements for people who plan to visit the island.
As the Municipality of Malay is under GCQ Alert Level 2, Boracay has then eased its requirements for visitors, also eliminating the Negative RT-PCR Swab Test and S-Pass Registration prior to arrival to the island, as per Executive Order No. 001-A of Aklan Provincial Government.
