BIZ BUZZ: Apeco rides on tourism wave

Craving a break from the hustle and bustle of city life? If yes, then you may want to check out the new tourist sites in Casiguran, Aurora, opening this month.
The Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (Apeco) has announced the reopening of its tourism properties in a bid to help revitalize the Philippine tourism sector.
These properties, which include 20-hotel room Apeco Residences, seven two-bedroom Apeco Executive Villas and a three-bedroom Apeco Executive Kubo (Nipa House), showcase the natural beauty of the Sierra Madre and Casiguran Cove.
“The newly renovated tourism properties inside the ecozone will not only serve visitors but also create opportunities for our local communities and strengthen Aurora’s position as a rising destination in the Pacific corridor,” Apeco President and CEO Gil Taway IV said.
The ecozone said the reopening of these facilities was also part of the ecozone’s broader vision to promote the Dinalungan, Casiguran, Dilasag (DiCaDi) corridor as a tourism destination.
By booking accommodations in the newly renovated facilities, both local and foreign visitors can explore the natural attractions in Northern Aurora, such as Casapsapan Beach, Tibu Tidal Pool, Motiong Beach, Dalugan Beach, Ontok Lighthouse and Dialang Falls.
They can also visit the 419-year-old Ermita Church in Casiguran, among the oldest churches in the country.
