CLARK FREEPORT – This Freeport will be featured in a live virtual tour session on May 24, 2021, as part of the pre-summit day activities at this year’s Urban Land Institute (ULI) Asia Pacific Summit.
The virtual tour will give ULI members a glimpse of this Freeport’s various investment and tourism facilities. It will also include a presentation about the master plans for Clark International Airport, New Clark City, and the Clark Freeport Zone.
During the activity, there will also be a 25-minute question-and-answer session. The online Q & A will feature panelists including CDC President and CEO Manuel R. Gaerlan, LIPAD President and CEO Bi Yong Chungunco, and Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) representative Karen Tham.
In a statement, CDC said that this opportunity will highlight this Freeport’s beauty and potential on an international scale. The participation of the state-owned firm in the summit will be beneficial in positioning the Freeport as a premier business, aviation, and tourism hub in the country. This will also serve as an encouragement to ULI members to consider Clark as their next location for their future ventures and advocacies.
The general session and virtual roundtables for the ULI Summit will officially begin on May 25, 2021, and will end on May 27. This year’s conference will take a hybrid approach, with an in-person event in Tokyo, Japan, and a virtual version accessible through a dedicated online platform.
