Malay council plans to transfer all-terrain vehicles from Boracay Island to mainland

BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan - The Malay council is eyeing the transfer of operation of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and bug cars from this resort island to nearby Malay, Aklan.

The council projected that the transfer of their operations would extend the tourism areas in mainland and at the same time ease the traffic problems in the island resort.

ATVs and bug cars are usually being operated by Korean investors.

To do this, the Zoning and Engineering Office was tasked to survey the areas for the operation of both ATV's and bug cars in Malay. One of its terminals will be located in Barangay Caticlan, Malay.

Among the areas that were being proposed to be part of the route are the Pangihan Cave, Agnaga Falls, Barangay Kabulihan and Naasug areas. These have been considered as alternative tourism destinations.

The plan to transfer the operation of tourists vehicles will be complemented with the ongoing construction of a Polo Club in nearby Nabas, Aklan. Once the billion-peso worth of investments is materialized, bug cars and ATV operations are expected to flourish.

Report said that the San Miguel Corporations is also eyeing to develop a Hollywood-like Theme Park in Caticlan. Already, the San Miguel Corporation is facilitating the upgrading of the Caticlan Airport to international standard.
