Plan a trip to Clark to attend the 17th Philippines Hot Air Balloon Festival in February 2012
A lot of Manila residents are busy planning a trip out of town towards Pampanga in North Luzon for the purpose of attending the 17th Philippines Hot Air Balloon Festival to be held in Clark from 9th to 12th February, 2012. Some have already purchase Hot Air Balloon tickets to avoid the long lines at the gate of this popular event in Clark. But holding an admission is not enough to guarantee a wonderful time at the 2012 Clark Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. Getting to the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta site in Clark from Manila is anything but simple.
One of the biggest problems plaguing this popular event in Clark Philippines is transportation to the Hot Air Balloon site in Clark. Even those who drive to Clark Pampanga have trouble finding a convenient place to park. Aggravations and frustrations with transportation problems have been the bane of previous Philippines Hot Air Balloon Fiestas in Clark Pampanga.
Organizers have started to warn travelers planning to drive to Clark for the Hot Air Balloon Festival about potential problems with parking. Although parking is available at the gate, the parking slots fill up very quickly leaving many visitors to have to park a little far away. Families traveling with children are particularly concerned with the walk from parking to and back from the Clark Hot Air Balloon Fiesta site.
Commuters should find rides to and from bus stations for commuters. Regardless of the choice and mode of transportation, travelers planning to attend the 17th Philippines Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark are well advised to plan the trip carefully. In fact nothing should be taken for granted and tickets should be purchased well in advance.

Smart tourists would probably choose to avoid the weekend and check in on Wednesday or Thursday instead. Although the programs for those two days may not sound as exciting as that on the grand finale Sunday or the penultimate Saturday lead-up, many can probably approach the balloons and the crew with less obstacles on Thursday and Friday. Rooms may still be available but many tourists and local residents travelling north from Manila are booking them fast.
