Will we have the famous theme park soon in the Philippines?
Pampanga 1st District Representative Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin wrote to Robert Iger, chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company, asking him to consider Clark, Pampanga as their next Walt Disney park. He cited that the Clark’s 4,400 hectare main zone and 27,600-hectare subzone will be perfect for a new Disneyland park.
Further, he added that that the tax-free privileges given to locators at the Clark Freeport Zone could be attractive destination for Disneyland theme park. Lazatin also cited Clark International Airport, world-class airport which is expected to serve at least P1.6-million passengers this year. He said in in his letter that the airport will be making it easier for tourists to enjoy the amenities and entertainment Disneyland is famous for without the hassles of long travels.
Apart from the airport which will offer convenience to visitors, the hotel accommodations will not be a problem as Clark has the best hotels, where visitors can likely enjoy the Filipino hospitality.
The lawmaker said the Philippines is a favorite tourist destination in Southeast Asia, with an average arrival of four million foreign visitors a year and for 2012, the government is eyeing to hit the 5-million mark.
“Together 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,” he said.
No confirmation as to what the Disneyland management’s stand about this request has been released though. But should this be considered, it will definitely be more fun in the Philippines!
