The pending closure of highly popular Boracay has already seen Australian travel agents scrum for other alternative destinations in the Philippines.


Boracay island, one of the worlds' best islands and a favourite overseas wedding destination for Filipino-Australians, is set to be closed for tourism beginning 26 April for six months.

It has already forced Australian travel agents to divert their clients to other destinations.  SBS Filipino talks to Rod Dingle of Kreative Travel Agency in Blacktown, NSW  and Basil Pangilinan of Daystar Travel in Ashfield, NSW
