declared Nasugbu, famous for its white sand beach resorts, a special tourism zone,
mandating the formation of a private sector-led "Nasugbu eminent persons group" to
oversee development.
The Nasugbu Special Tourism Zone will cover areas included in
the Nasugbu Tourism Development Plan prepared by the municipal government and
validated by the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA).
SM Investments Corp. (SMIC)
plans to construct a 59 kmē resort, the Hamilo Coast, at the NSTZ. Within the
property is Mt. Pico de Loro, a national park. SMIC will also establish a ferry
service from the Manila Bay terminal of the SM Central Business Park in the Mall
of Asia to Hamilo Coast, due to be operational by 2008.[4]
