TACLOBAN CITY – Although the design of the zipline project at the Caluwayan Palm Beach Resort is already finished, it was decided by its owners to withhold its implementation for the meantime as they want to focus first on finishing the construction of additional facilities such as rooms and function halls, Marabut municipal tourism officer Estela Obuyes said.
“The municipal government had already signed a memorandum of agreement with the operators of Caluwayan, but the management of Caluwayan decided to push said project early or mid next year once all construction of additional building is done,” Obuyes said in an interview.
Caluwayan Palm Beach Resort is a privately-owned resort located in Barangay Caluwayan, Marabut, Samar. It is the premier tourism facility in said town that had been helping the municipal government in the promotion of their tourism programs.
Last May 27, 2011, Zeny Cosimino, the manager of the resort, and her brother Engr. Mario Pacuri initiated the MOA with Mayor Ortillo, Jr for the LGU.
The signing was made at the resort and it was witnessed by various officials of the municipality.
In November 17, a team that includes investors and consultants from Meadowland Development Corporation specializing on extreme sports facilities and water system development assessed the entire municipality of Marabut for a zipline project that will be constructed within its tourism destinations
The proposed Marabut zipline project is unique for it will feature an island to island zipline hopping that will give tourists the chance to have an aerial view of their beautiful scenery and tourism spots in contrast to other existing ziplines in the country that offers a canopy views for its enthusiasts.
The construction of the said facility will help boost the local economy and provide additional employment.
