DEPARTMENT of Tourism (DoT) Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat emphasized the government’s vision towards sustainable tourism by facilitating integrated multi-industry growth areas such as the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ). One of these facilities is the Clark International Airport (CRK) Passenger Terminal Building, set to be the next premier gateway to Asia. This leads to New Clark City, which will be a model city for new Filipino urban dwellings that drive growth, promote culture and heritage and embody sustainability. The modern New Clark City sports facilities used in the recently-concluded 30th South East Asian Games (SEA Games), including the 20,000-seater Athletics Stadium. But more than sports facilities, New Clark City also prides itself in the creation of a national back-up headquarters for disaster response. As a modern city, New Clark City prioritizes public health with the construction of a polyclinic in partnership with the University of the Philippines (UP) and the Philippine General Hospital (PGH). New Clark City will also soon house a state-of-the-art transit hub, convention and cultural centers, more parks, educational institutions and an advanced food terminal and logistics hub.The DoT fully supports CSEZ’s vision for sustainable tourism as these will boost tourism growth and provide more economic opportunities for the people. With the help of investors, the department hopes to aid growth not only within the provinces of Pampanga and Tarlac but to other neighboring provinces and regions.
