Clark Special Economic Zone (also known as Clark Freeport Zone) is a distinctly unusual destination in that it is a converted military base that has been redeveloped into a hub for everything from business and aviation to fitness, sports, tourism and shopping.

This is a purpose-built location that ingeniously takes a former military airbase and has given it a new life as a thriving commercial and tourist centre.

Clark is a sprawling metropolitan boasting many places of interests and a host of events and activities that appeals to a wide spectrum of tourists and visitors. Originally designed as a Freeport Zone to enable free trade between the Philippines and other locations, it is now a tourist attraction in its own right, thanks to its resources, excellent tourist facilities, and high-quality accommodation.

Located in the heart of the Philippines, Clark is an excellent base for exploring this island nation. Branded as ‘Asia’s Most Affordable Gateway’, it is a delightful location that is quirky and full of surprises. More than being a huge shopping centre – this destination is surrounded by lush, green jungle and the towns and villages around Clark give you the opportunity to discover the true culture of the Philippines.
