THE CEBU MASTER PLAN
(Taken from the presentation)

President GMA promised to make Cebu an international industrial center, a tourism destination center as well as the maritime capital and hub of information technology in the country...

With these declarations, Cebu's business men immediately divides the plan to realize this vision. This is the The Cebu Master Plan.

These are the specific plans and visions:

1. Metro Cebu Corridor
*** Envision to provide a corridor linking the Mandaue Reclation Area and Cebu and Mactan Boardwalk to Kawit Island and Talisay. When completed, this would make full use of the South Reclamation project to provide easy access and linking these areas.

2. Tourism Corridor Centerpieces
*** Cebu and Mactan Boardwalk (In Mandaue: Ampi-theater, family theme park, Marina Yatch Club, Restaurants, and many others)
*** Cebu Heritage and Cultural Center (Malacanang of the South)
*** Kawit Island Tourism Facilities (Sea-plane landing area, an open-space concert hall, windsurfing facilities)

3. Relocation of Carbon Public Market
*** Market SRP properties
*** Complement the Cebu Village Tourism Project
*** Decongest downtown Cebu City
*** Cater local buyers and tourists

4. International Port and Cruise Ship Terminal
*** Develop future ecozones and IT parks in Cordova
*** Create a converging point for transportation systems
*** Interlink Cordova with the North to South LRT via underwater tunner

5. Integrated Transport System
*** LRT connecting to the Mactan Internation Airport. From the airport, it will connect to the Cebu International Port and Cruise Terminal. From the terminal, it will then connect to the Metro Cebu Tourism Corridor. The main terminal will be located beside SM City Cebu, and will connect to the North Coastal Road Project and to the South Reclamation Project

6. Cable Car System
*** Runs from the foot of Nivel Hills in Lahug going to Tops

7. TEZ (Tourism Eco Zone)
*** Part of Punta Engano to become the Toursm Eco Zone (variety of hotels, theme parks, public pool, hanging bridge, shopping centers, restaurants, and other tourist attractions)

Is there a timetable for these projects? Sounds very impressive, hopefully it will come into fruition.

If the private sector will undertake it. It will surely happen.

i like the "Cable Car system" from Nivel Hills, Lahug to Tops.
What a bright idea! At least by this means, more people can take the opportunity of viewing from Tops Transportation has always been the problem for most people of wanting to go there.

Hope these plans will push through.

Also, a "Subway" would be a nice idea too.
