FMJ inaugurates Grand Westside Hotel
By J.Lo
“Having developed many hotels and other tourism-related establishments around the country, Megaworld has shown true partner in national development and great builder of dreams and sustainable communities in our society,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.inaugurated Megaworld’s 1,530-room Grand Westside Hotel in Parañaque City, touted as biggest hotel development in the country.
Grand Westside Hotel is expected to generate 20,000 direct and indirect jobs in the coming years, Marcos said.
“Indeed, world class experiences are awaiting guests of this grand hotel,” Marcos said in his speech.
Located in Entertainment City, two-tower Grand Westside Hotel is short drive from Ninoy Aquino International Airport via NAIA Expressway, and promises views of world-famous Manila Bay sunset, as well as the skylines of Makati, Manila and Taguig.
The President thanked Alliance Global Group, Inc., led by its president and chief executive officer Kevin Tan, for company’s upcoming developments, including Grand Opera House, theaters and gaming complex.
“With all these, we foresee not only entry of more tourists but also generation of more jobs, of new businesses and of greater opportunity,” Marcos said.
Alliance Global Group Inc. is parent company of Megaworld Corp.
“This is particularly noteworthy considering remarkable growth of tourism sector, contributed 8.6 percent to the country’s GDP last year, 2023,” Marcos said.
Among those present at the inauguration of Grand Westside Hotel were Megaworld officials led by Tan, Speaker Martin Romualdez, Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco, Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual, Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. chairman Alejandro Tengco and Parañaque City Mayor Eric Olivarez.
Marcos earlier said tourism and hospitality industry has made “impressive” recovery after COVID-19 pandemic.
Hotels, restaurants, recreational amenities and tourist spots have “slowly but surely” risen to the challenge of travel resurgence, welcoming 5.45 million inbound tourists last year from 2.65 million visitors in 2022, the President said.
