The beauty of the Philippines has once again received accolades from online travel guide TripAdvisor.com and travel magazine Lonely Planet.

Another positive indicator that more and more satisfied travelers started proudly spreading the word about their many “fun” experiences in the country.

Boracay topped the list of TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice 2013 – Best Beaches in Asia 2013 – holding on to this crown for the third year in a row.

TripAdvisor, one of the world’s popular online travel guides, conducts regular polls of favorite vacation places and properties through its Travelers’ Choice Awards.

Boracay’s world renowned White Beach was described as “a stunningly beautiful white powder sand beach (with) crystal clear, warm water that you can laze on for days on end.”

Boracay has consistently made it to the poll results of the travel Web site, the previous one as second in the 2012 Best Beaches in the World Awards.

In 2012, Boracay was also cited by Travel + Leisure Magazine in its World’s Best Awards as the Best Island Destination, and one of the Top 10 Best Beach Party Destinations by Cheapflights.com.
