3 KEY FACTS About the Palawan market Palwan is currently a frontier market in terms of both business and investments. Meaning that very soon we can expect it to become the most emerging real estate, tourism and by this the new business area of The Philippines. It does not stop there. As Palawan has a very favourable geographical location being close to countries like China, Malaysia, Thailand and the whole of Europe compared to the rest of the Philippines, we can for sure expect that the Island will become very attractive for real estate investors. The main parameters for measuring these factors are research conducted on the terrain, tourism statistics, government engagement and infrastructure investments. The Philippines is currently also the fastest growing economy in South-East Asia. Presence and development Present on the Island our team has evidented a considerable increase in property transactions, private individuals contacting us for sale of properties, investors for acquisitions and the development of resorts. Further visits to what used to be unreachable areas are now becoming linked by roads. Additionally almost all of the Island is now covered with 3G signal and the telecom operators are contiously expanding the network due to demand and arrivals of tourists into the area. Big investors such as Japanese Kazou Okada have announced an investment circle exceeding $4 billion over the coming years. Several hotel chains such as Best Western have already established themselves and other 5 star resorts have just recently opened their doors to visitors on the Island. There is however a huge demand for many more in order to cope with the influx of more visitors. There will also be a considerable market for private residential developments, both for the influx of workers/employees and expats (wealthy, management and retirees). Fast tourism growth The number of arrivals in Palawan have steadily been increasing year on year even without any focus on the new infrastructure or marketing. But as these come into play the arrivals are set to accelerate at a rate of arrivals per year and surpass the already established Boracay by Just recently, reputated international media (CNN, Tripadvisor, Lonely Planet, Huffington Post, Daily Mail etc) have started to cover Palawan and regard it as one of the worlds best Islands praising it for its natural beauties and various alcalades. As the Island becomes connected globally, the whole area will boom in both the number of arrivals and the price of land. Government engagement The local government has initiated several activities which have lifted the prospectus of Palawan both as an investment destination and as a place to visit. The local municipalites have also engaged in a wide establishment of tourism offices and information points. Some of the bigger municipalites have together with the local government invested in the development of masterplans for the main areas and infrastructure developments. Never has there been such a focused and concrete approach towards creating a favourable investment climate in this region. This has resulted in the possiblity to invest and buy areas of land regulated for tourist resorts, private developments and business service areas. The aim of the local government is to have a sustainable and controlled development of the Island standing out in the region. Rapid infrastructure development To cope with the evidented demands from new visitors and to further accelerate the number of tourists Palawan, will be opening two new international airports within the first quarter of 2017 linking the Island direct with various cities around the world. With this in mind, those areas best connected and being the closest to the new airports will have a tremendous rise in land price once the terminals are ready to welcome their first international flights. The government is also investing heavily in other infrastructure projects to further support the planned increase in visitors. One being a new network of roads, linking previously unaccesable areas of stunning beauty. This is the most opportune time to aquire real estate in Palawan Never has there been so many indicators nor interest in the Island. The outlook for 2017 and further is remarkable in terms of the increase in land prices and investment opportunities due to first mover advantage. An additional factor which makes us confident in this unique place is the fact that there are no other professional investment management companies active on the island and by this we are the first and only company placing Palawan on the investor map. We have worked extensively over the last two years to communicate with the locals, consult with the local government and conduct analysis thus presenting our clients with secure and profitable investment opportunities.

8 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT A true Filipino feeling Known as the last frontier and unlike the Philippines current jewel in its tourism industry Boracay, Palawan is to be developed much more sustainably in keeping with its natural surroundings with a true Filipino feeling. A masterplan has been developed by the renowned Palapox associates commissioned by the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority TIEZA which provides perspective buyers a planning concept for developments to complement the surrounding, unspoilt environment ecologically. Master Plan of San Vicente, Palawan San Vicente has more than 165,000 hectares with landscapes that include rice fields, waterfalls, unique coastlines with rich marine life, mangroves, mountains and forests. There are two approaches in tourism planning and development. The first is build and they will come, such that investments like roads, an airport and seaport, water, drainage and sewerage system, and power facilities are implemented early on as catalysts for development. The second option is to have a wait-and-see attitude with the build as they come approach. The leaders of the Municipal Government of San Vicente, Department of Tourism and the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) chose the first option. In creating the Integrated Tourism Master Plan, stakeholders such as residents, farmers and fishermen, investors, developers, local and national government, were consulted. Studies were done to determine vulnerabilities to climate change and reduce potential risks in environmental stability. A multi-disciplinary team that included specialists in environmental planning, architecture, design, engineering, socioeconomics, institutional management, marketing and finance. The masterplan is based on both conservative and aggressive visitor and population projections until 2044, even if the published national projections for visitor arrivals are only until The carrying capacity of this one beach, (the longest in the Philippines at 14km long) is over people.
