San Vicente Palawan

Island Hopping Destinations

Palawan has been voted the world’s most beautiful island. It has world-class beaches, breathtaking natural wonders, and some of the richest underwater life. Every year, millions of tourists visit Palawan’s pristine waters, with Puerto Princesa and Coron as top destinations. Palawan generates an estimated $4.40 billion in total revenue. Now, a new destination in Palawan is welcoming new and exciting opportunities.

San Vicente is a newly discovered tourist destination three hours from Puerto Princesa. San Vicente is on track to become the Philippines’ new pride as a world-class tourist destination. San Vicente is a first-class municipality that provides visitors with a one-of-a-kind experience that combines nature, culture, and modern living in one destination. San Vicente draws thousands of tourists and a number of investors to its world-class beaches. With San Vicente Airport, a number of island resorts, pension houses, business centers, telecommunications, and energy providers are already in operation, arrivals and receipts from tourism are expected to rise.

The investment potential is limitless, from its coastal assets to its mountainous heights.

VISION

The San Vicente Flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone will be developed on an 883-hectare plot of land along San Vicente’s long beach. It’s a slice of paradise with its 14.7-kilometer-long coast, the longest in the Philippines.

The San Vicente Flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone is viewed as a catalyst for the municipality’s overall growth. The flagship TEZ’s development will be guided by twelve green sustainable development principles: Architecture, urbanism, technology, energy, interior design, furniture, infrastructure, manufacturing, sustainable development, purchasing, jobs, and transportation are some of the disciplines covered. This is to ensure economic growth and sustainability, environmentally friendly urbanism, agritourism, and the empowerment of local communities.

The Flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone envisions a robust tourism hub with diverse options and products for visitors that highlight San Vicente’s natural and cultural assets.
The development will be divided into four growth centers based on specific themes.

Cluster 1

The first cluster will focus on sun and beach ecotourism. Developments in this area will be aimed at the high-income market. Beach activities, rest and relaxation, retirement tourism, and cruise and nautical eco-tourism activities will be the focus of this cluster.

Cluster 2

The second cluster will be a hub for adventure marine sports and entertainment for middle-income consumers. This section focuses on investment opportunities in adventure dining and retail.

Cluster 3

San Vicente’s indigenous peoples live in Cluster 3. This area will be developed for Agri-tourism in addition to beach activities.

Cluster 4

The fourth cluster will be developed for the high-income market. This will be the preferred location for high-end resorts.

The 14-kilometer Long Beach in Cluster One is the TEZ’s priority development center. Beach resorts, mountain resorts, second homes and retirement villas, Agri-tourism areas, business hotels, community centers, parks and recreation areas, mixed-use commercial establishments, and a boat dock will soon rise in Cluster 1.

To meet the projected demand from tourist arrivals in cluster one, more than 160 000 rooms are needed.

To make San Vicente a model Flagship TEZ, basic infrastructure support is also needed. Airport facilities, highways and roads, flood mitigation, power generation, power generation, telecommunications, water distribution facilities, sewerage treatment plants, modular docking facilities, lodging and accommodations are all examples of this.

A 50-meter beach setback is required for all developments.

The developable area of 30 to 50 meters will only be for non-permanent structures.

The maximum building height is 6 to 20 meters, with a 50:50 building-to-open space ratio.

Road networks, coastal roads, and water transportation facilities are needed to support these developments and provide multiple entry points to the TEZ.

The San Vicente Airport, which is much closer to El Nido, will also open as the gateway to the later.

As access roads to the beach, esplanades and boardwalks are planned every 400 meters.

Any investment in the development of the TEZ will serve as a catalyst for the overall growth of San Vicente.

The government will fund basic infrastructure, and incentives to encourage private investment may be offered.

The San Vicente Flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone offers a plethora of exciting opportunities.
