Pangasinan is considered one of the nation’s next great business destinations with key opportunities in tourism, BPO, agri-business, retail, real estate, etc. Not only does it have a large educated population but it is packed with more than 100 designated tourist attractions.
A new super highway connects it to Metro Manila with just a few hours drive. Explosive growth is already underway in regions below it (Pampangan and Tarlac) and above it (La Union and Ilocos). Observers say Pangasinan is the next great business destination of North Luzon.
