CEBU CITY, Philippines - Cebu's tourism industry is expected to get a boost as another mixed-use hotel and residential resort will be developed in Mactan Island.

AmiSa, a five-hectare leisure project in Punta Engano, Lapu-Lapu City, will be developed by Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC).

RLC assistant vice president for leisure and retirement John M. Reyna said the project was conceived to synergize with sister company, Cebu Pacific Air.

“We have the airport where Cebu Pacific flies daily. This is a very good way to tieup with our sister company and bring in domestic and international tourists,” Reyna said adding that continuous tourist arrivals in Cebu is a good business indicator for the real estate sector.

Reyna said the peace and order situation of the area was considered before the company decided to choose Cebu as the project site.
