Aquino\u2019s order to study my proposal is a huge boost and a welcome development in our mission to bring the world-famous theme park to the Philippines. I cannot stop thanking the Chief Executive for this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte recently echoed the President\u2019s support for the project by saying, \u201cthere is no reason why we should not look into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will bring in business and promote tourism,\u201d Valte said.<\/p>\n<p>Lazatin said that with the President already backing the project, \u201cconcerned government agencies should join forces and leave no stone unturned to make Disneyland at Clark Freeport Zone a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment agencies like the Department of Tourism should be deeply involved in this endeavor as this would help the country become one of the favorite tourist destinations in the world,\u201d said Lazatin, who already asked Tourism Sec. Ramon Jimenez to help lobby with Walt Disney.<\/p>\n<p>Lazantin cited to Staggs the \u201cworld-class Clark International Airport\u201d which, he noted, \u201cwould make it easy for tourists to enjoy the amenities and entertainment Disneyland is famous for without the hassles of inconvenient travels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lazatin also assured Staggs that \u201chotels will not be a problem for visitors, as the Freeport has the best world-class hotels in its roster where visitors can enjoy the hospitality Filipinos are known for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also noted in his letter to Staggs that \u201cthe Philippines is a favorite tourist destination in Southeast Asia\u201d, as he cited statistics showing an average of four million foreign visitors a year. He added that this year, the government is eyeing to hit the 5-million mark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether with our population of more than 90 million Filipinos, a Disneyland theme park in the Philippines could be a major income generating site for your company,\u201d he told Staggs.<\/p>\n<p>Walt Disney has theme parks in Hong Kong and Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan expressed support for the project which he described as \u201ca tourism feature with massive potentials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA world class theme Disneyland park in Central Luzon can generate hundreds or even thousands of jobs, and be beneficial to businesses surrounding the Clark area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been working hard to make Central Luzon as a tourism launch pad in the country, and this proposal by Lazatin has boosted our hopes,\u201d said Pamintuan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCentral Luzon lacks an eye-catching major tourism site and the addition of this famous theme park brand could improve the region\u2019s odds in attracting more tourists, businesses and investors,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Pamintuan is currently the Regional Development Council (RDC) committee chairman for tourism.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/punto.com.ph\/News\/Article\/14058\/Volume-5-No-142\/Headlines\/Malaca%C3%B1ang-backs-bid-for-Disneyland-at-Clark<\/p>\n<p>Highly recommended beach resort in North Luzon for company outings and family retreats is most frequently visited hotel in Clark Pampanga because of beautiful view and good outdoor facilities for swimming, picnic and barbecue.<\/p>\n<p>Families traveling out of town go to the north to get away from Manila to unwind, relax and swim with friends and children.
