The Mambukal Resort and Wildlife Sanctuary in Barangay Minoyan, Murcia, Negros Occidental is getting more improvements in its facilities as part of the initiatives of Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson to further boost the local tourism industry.
An additional 10 hectares of land, which is adjacent to the mountain resort, was recently purchased by the provincial government.
“With the additional property, we are hoping to build more villas to accommodate more visitors,” Lacson in the resort tour with reporters on Friday (Sept. 5).
“Soon, we will have animals along the way as you trek to the falls,” he added.
A villa, with a swimming pool, is now almost complete and will soon accommodate guests.
There are now golf carts for use by the resort guests as well as a food park.
Lacson said the trekking from first falls to seventh falls may soon be opened to visitors as the trail still being improved.
The Negros Occidental provincial government got P10 million from the Department of Budget and Management for the upgrading and redevelopment of the trail within the Mambukal Resort.
The project intends to enhance visitor experience by improving pathways, installing directional, regulatory, and information signages, establishing rest areas, and integrating educational features to promote the area’s ecosystem. | GB
