In 2021, CRK also emerged as one of the six world finalists for the same award.
Since her assumption to office as tourism chief, Secretary Frasco directed the maximization of the country's secondary gateways.
She and Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Jaime Bautista have fostered strong collaborations on tourism and transport by engaging in convergence meetings since last year for the enhancement of tourism and transport sectors.
She also met with Luzon-based stakeholders in Clark as part of her listening tours in a bid to collaborate more in boosting tourist arrivals in CRK to further business tourism opportunities, particularly in Northern and Central Luzon.
As a gateway, Clark can serve as much as eight million passengers annually.
Currently, CRK services flights to the countryโs major tourist destinations like Caticlan (Boracay), Puerto Princesa and Busuanga, (Palawan), Davao, Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, General Santos, and Cagayan de Oro, while servicing international routes including Clark to Hongkong, Bangkok, and Singapore.
