SAN PABLO CITY, LAGUNA— The local government of San Pablo City is hoping to transform Sampaloc Lake into a world-class tourist destination.
Being the largest among the lakes in the city, San Pablo Tourism Council’s Lerma Prudente believes the lake has the potential to be on the “A-list” of tourist destinations in the country once planned attractions are completed.
The local government is currently renovating the Sampaloc Lake Complex.
Part of the plans, says Prudente, is the establishment of the Boardwalk at Family Leisure, Spa and Relaxation in Sampaloc Lake, bird sanctuary and butterfly farm in Lake Pandin, organic farm in Lake Yambo, and development of orchidarium and aquarium in Lake Muhikap.
The San Pablo government also plans to develop a campsite and sports activities in Lake Kalibato and a fishing village in Lake Palakpakin.
Prudente says that aside from the Sampaloc Lake, it is important that other spots in the city also have their “must-see” destinations so that each spot can complement one another to further boost the tourism within the city.
Prudente also notes that they are encouraging both tourists and local residents to participate in the development of the eco-tourism so that the continuous efforts on maintaining that cleanliness and order of the city won’t be taken for granted.
Hopefully, it won’t also affect the campaign of the non-government organizations who are into the preservation of the Sampaloc Lake.
