WELCOME TO THE GREATER SUBIC BAY TOURISM BUREAU

The bureau has about 100 members from what we call the BOSZ. The BOSZ is Bataan, Olongapo, Subic Bay Freeport and Zambales, the four areas that make up what is called the Greater Subic Bay. The membership is a mix of government units and private sector companies in the tourism industry.”

The Greater Subic Bay area is exploding as a tourist destination with the number of both domestic and international guest on the rise. The area makes an interesting tourist destination with jungle activities, water sports, a wide range of night life and accommodations as well as many historical and natural sites.

The transformation of the Subic Navy base into an economic zone with a concentration of recreational activities and a wide variety of accommodations has placed a new tourist destination on the map. Domestic tourists, especially those from Manila, are seeing the area as a qualified alternative to many other tourist destinations. The recent improvements in the Northern Expressway and the new Subic-Clark-Tarlac expressway SCTex are bringing the area closer and closer. The rapid expansion of tourism facilities on the Subic Bay Freeport balanced by the Eco-tourism and the attraction of the Bay brings people for a variety of experiences. The International tourist is what is really leading the way to the growth of Subic Bay. It is human nature to ignore your own backyard, but it is time for the domestic tourists to look around and ask themselves what they are missing. Olongapo is for everyone’s budget. There are Hotels & Resorts in all price ranges and cater to all sorts of activities. Olongapo is much like a merging Honolulu, a combination city and tourist haven.
