A South Korean firm is investing P450 million in hotel and wellness facilities within the Clark Freeport in Pampanga, a move that will further boost tourism in the area.

In a statement, Clark Development Corp. (CDC) president Arthur P. Tugade disclosed that Somang Global Clark Corp. (SGCC) recently held groundbreaking ceremonies to jumpstart the construction of seven Healing Hotel and Spa facilities at the freeport.

The ceremonies were led by SGCC president and CEO Ho Kyeng Lee and Tugade, who were accompanied by, among others, Rep. Joseller M. Guiao and SGCC chair Suk Chang Kang.
