The visit aimed to encourage Arab companies involved in retail, agro-industrial, electronics, and real estate development to establish businesses in the Philippines’ economic zones.

The delegation explored various locations, including Iloilo, Guimaras, Antique, Laguna, Cavite, Batangas, Pampanga, and Bataan. ‘

PEZA plans to conduct similar tours for Middle Eastern businessmen in September and November, according to Joseph Timothy Rivera, PEZA Investment Promotions Partner.
