To generate income and continue promoting the tourism value of Calauit Safari Park, Provincial Agriculturist Dr. Romeo Cabungcal said they are planning to add attractions in the popular animal reserve. Cabungcal, who also officially shared the place’s new name, revealed such plan in the Summit on Income and Generation held last Wednesday, May 10.

In can be recalled that tourism in the park has been on decline as animal populations in the area continue to dwindle. To augment this, the park management is now pushing for more entrepreneurial opportunities in the area, such as the building of tents and guest houses for tourists’ accommodations and leasing of spaces for vendors. Such investments are seen as boosts for tourists’ influx.

Provincial administrator Atty. Joshua Bolusa clarified, nonetheless, that these new attractions will go through the necessary process and all stakeholders, including Indigenous People groups, will be consulted.

Collaboration with the local government of Busuanga and the communities in the area will also be initiated, he added.
