With a new 20-year master plan, public officials in the Philippines look to create a new tourist hotspot in Alaminos City, which houses 100 small islands.

"For his part, architect Felino Palafox expressed optimism about the bright future of Alaminos City saying 'there is so much development potential in the city that we can take advantage of. While other cities of the world like Dubai are spending enormous sums to reclaim and build islands out of the sea, the city has more than 100 islands that we can immediately develop.' "

"The mayor added that only light industries, tourist-related facilities, and those that draw strength from the rich farm and fishery resources of the city and its satellite towns are welcome in Alaminos City."
