Tourist arrivals in CL up by 15% in 2010

April 6, 2011

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga, April 6 (PIA) — Tourist arrivals in Central Luzon have drastically increased in 2010 primarily due to a much improved road network that made destinations in the region more accessible.

Department of Tourism (DOT) regional director Ronaldo Tiotuico revealed that tourist arrivals last year numbered 560,000,up by 15 percent from 2009.

Local tourists accounted for 55 percent of the arrivals last year while foreigners mostly Koreans, Malaysians and Singaporeans made up the remaining 45 percent.

According to Tiotuico, β€œthe Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and its seamless complementation with the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) augur well for the transformation of the Northern regions into a favorite tourist destination.”

The 94-kilometer SCTEX, the country’s longest toll road, interconnects three key growth areas in Central Luzon- the Subic Freeport, Clark Freeport, and Central Techno Park in Tarlac.

DOT records show that Zambales remains the premier tourist destination in the region as its beaches draw an average of 500,000 vacationers annually.

Pampanga is the second most visited province followed by Tarlac, Bataan, and Bulacan.(WLB/CLJD-PIA 3)
