Clark International Airport (CRK) and the leading travel and experience platform, Klook, have formally signed a landmark Strategic Partnership aimed at significantly boosting inbound tourism across Clark and Central Luzon. This collaboration is set to establish CRK as a pre-eminent gateway to the Philippines through a joint tourism marketing campaign designed to attract international travelers.
The first major initiative under this partnership is the official opening of a dedicated Klook Travel Lounge located inside Clark International Airport. The lounge is designed to offer passengers an end-to-end, seamless preparation hub for their regional adventures.
At the Klook Travel Lounge, inbound and outbound travelers can conveniently book essential destination activities, secure travel essentials, explore exclusive Clark tour packages, and receive immediate, on-ground assistance from Klook’s dedicated travel experts. This strategic service point creates an all-in-one hub for travelers before they depart or explore the region.
“This partnership reflects our unwavering commitment to making every CRK journey smoother, smarter, and more enjoyable,” said Mr. Noel Manankil, President and CEO of LIPAD (Luzon International Premiere Airport Development Corporation), the operator of CRK. “By integrating Klook’s world-class booking experience directly into our airport, we are enhancing the passenger experience and proudly positioning CRK as the starting point for exploration, whether guests are touring Clark or flying abroad.”
Michelle Ho, General Manager of Klook Philippines, highlighted the synergy of the collaboration. “Clark and Central Luzon possess incredible tourism potential. By joining forces with CRK, we are not only providing convenience through the Travel Lounge but also proactively promoting the region’s diverse offerings to a global audience. We are dedicated to delivering seamless and rewarding travel experiences that encourage more international visitors to choose CRK as their entry point.”
