Korean firm builds tourism estate in Clark

MANILA, Philippines - Donggwang Clark Corp. (DCC), the Philippine subsidiary of the SunValley Group of South Korea, ventures into an ambitious project building a world class tourism estate in Clark, Pampanga which will change the Philippine tourism horizon and redefine the country’s leisure business.

One of the biggest multi-resorts under development in Southeast Asia, the Clark SunValley Resorts and Country Club is a $400 million investment in a 304-hectare land aiming to introduce a “unique lifestyle” in an integrated tourism resort estate, providing a “unique leisure experience” in the Philippines.

Already open for business is the country club’s two championship golf courses — the 18-hole Sun and Valley course and the 18-hole Clark course located at an average altitude of 370 meters above sea level. The 203-hectare golf courses have one of the best panoramic views of Clark, giving players the best golfing environment while allowing them to admire the great views of nature.

And to make the estate world class, DCC will officially sign a partnership with an international hotel brand this month to bring state-of-the-art establishments inside the Clark SunValley Resorts and Country Club.

Other establishments to see and expect within the estate are the Clark ODE County (a mixed-use residential and office complex), international hotel and casino complex, 500 luxury private villas, water theme park, an international school, retail operations and other leisure-related facilities.

“No longer is leisure only about resting and relaxation, it also has to do with elevating living standards to the highest possible level. And this is what Donggwang wants to achieve in the Clark SunValley Resorts and Country Club,” said SunValley Group managing director Tug-ho Rhewy.
