MANILA - Filipina akan membina sebuah hotel peranginan dasar laut di Palawan, iaitu sebuah pulau yang kaya dengan sumber alam, di selatan negara itu.
Projek yang digelar sebagai Taman Terumbu Karang itu akan mencipta rekod sebagai pusat peranginan bawah laut pertama di Asia dan bangunan bawah laut terbesar di dunia apabila ia dijangka siap pada 2013.
Hotel peranginan yang bernilai AS$150 juta (RM457 juta) itu dilengkapi 24 bilik pada kedalaman 18 meter dan memberikan pandangan sekeliling di dasar laut.
Kesemua bilik setinggi lima meter itu akan dibina oleh sebuah syarikat Amerika Syarikat yang mempunyai kepakaran dalam pembuatan kapal selam.

Futuristic underwater resort to be built off Palawan

MANILA, Philippines—Imagine an underwater hotel room with a panoramic view of tropical fish swimming over large coral reefs, manta rays gliding in the water and turtles chasing after tiny squids.
Science fiction? Not if businessman Paul Moñozca can help it.
Moñozca, a Singapore-based financier who heads a group of international investors, plans to start a futuristic underwater resort off the island of Palawan as part of an aggressive venture into the ecotourism business.
The project, dubbed “Last Frontier Resort,” is expected to bring in a total of $1 billion in investments spread over a 10-year period—an average of $100 million a year which, its proponents hope, will help create thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Palawan.
Moñozca—known for his advocacies of helping improve the overseas remittance business, acquiring stakes in the US professional basketball league and junior circuit stock car racing teams—is the main driver of the project.
His Monaco-based philanthropic fund, dubbed “Spirit,” plays a lead role in the development of marine habitats and ocean protection initiatives.
The Last Frontier Resort will be built with submarine technology. When completed, the proposed underwater habitat will be the biggest in the world.
The project has been in the planning stage since last year, and its proponents have identified a group of islands in the Calamianes cluster as the site for development.
The site is owned by businessman and resort developer Steve Tajanlangit. It is made up of a group of seven islands in close proximity to each other, and another group of seven islands outside the main cluster.
The resulting 14-island project will be the largest of its kind in the world.
Sea spiders
The first phase calls for semi-submersible units called “Sea Spiders,” which will be built by a US firm that specializes on submarines, to serve as observation decks. Each sea spider can accommodate 30 tourists.
To rival similar projects such as the underwater resorts of Dubai, Fiji and the Caribbean, the second phase calls for a 100-room underwater hotel in partnership with a high-end boutique hotel brand spread over the cluster of seven islands.
Suite-size rooms will have a 270-degree view of the ocean underwater with 20-to 40-meter visibility. These rooms will be connected by underwater corridors. A further 85 rooms will be built on another cluster of seven islands.
Quake-free zone
Project proponents chose the pristine islands of Palawan because of its recent standing as a quake-free zone and its clear and cove-protected waters.
One of the site’s islands sits adjacent to the Calauit Nature Reserve. The islands nearby are ideal jump-off points for scuba diving.
“The blue print encompasses a strict adherence to protect the environment and the biodiversity of Palawan,” the group said in a statement.
“Groups of scientists from the Philippines and around the globe are part of the project’s protective strategy especially focused on its long stretches of coral reefs which have previously encountered illegal dynamite and cyanide fishing,” it added.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Philippines serves as financial adviser to the project, which developers expect to be completed by 2013. tapak yg bakal dijadikn hotel:loveliness:
