Manila-based businessmen scout suitable sites in Bataan coastal towns

BALANGA CITY, Bataan – Manila-based businessmen are reportedly scouting for suitable locations for the establishment of tourism-oriented industry in the coastal areas of the historic peninsula.

Lawyer Jay L. Miranda, a commercial bank legal officer based in Makati City, described that some restaurant and hotel owners are profoundly evaluating the marketability and profitability of the health and resort projects in the two Bataan towns facing the Western Philippine Sea.

Lawyer Miranda explained the improvement of the Roman Highway which connects the Freeport Area of Bataan to two other leading Freeports in the country, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority and Clark Economic Zone may open the scenic and natural environmental advantages of the coastal areas to travel and tourism business.

Locators have expressed their willingness to invest in health tourism which is fast becoming a lucrative industry with thousands of retirees and senior citizens from European and American countries enjoying the facilities built in the country.

The significant progress in road network is one of the priority projects of Bataan Governor Albert Raymond S. Garcia who is genuinely steadfast in promoting the geographically strategic historic Bataan as an investment hub, would redound to increased job generation and sustainable, inclusive and innovation –oriented growth, Lawyer Miranda added.
