Bataan's new tourism draw




MARIVELES, Bataan, Philippines — The sky-rise mountain called Tarak ridge has been a magnet for mountain hikers this year that Mayor Jesse I. Concepcion is now planning to put up an Eco-Tourism Center in the area.

Concepcion said the mountain climbers must have a shelter as they ascend Tarak Ridge.

He said he noticed how many tourists have committed themselves to going up Tarak ridge, acknowledging its historic importance and its natural allure.

During the recent three-day Tarak Endurance Open that kicked off in Barangay Alas-asin, media visitors were surprised at the beauty of Tarak ridge, its unique environment and virgin forest overlooking the Manila Bay and South China Sea.

To give shelter to the mountain climbers, Mayor Jesse I. Concepcion revealed the other day that they will soon put up an Eco-Tourism center.

In his speech during the launching of the three-day 1st Tarak Endurance Open competition, Mayor Concepcion said that the said Eco-Tourism center can be used as resting house and other purposes by hikers and tourists going up to the highest mountain here.
