Megaworld Corp. is building a P1.5 billion, two-level convention center in the 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
Set to rise just across the newly- opened Belmont Hotel Mactan on Newtown boulevard, the standalone Mactan Expo Center will offer almost a hectare of MICE space (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions), the company said.
It will be completed by 2025.
Megaworld said Mactan Expo Center’s ground level will feature a convention hall that can accommodate up to 2,500 people as well as the Mactan Expo Center which will be compliant to the requirements of the Philippine Green Building Council.
The township has two hotel properties being operated and managed by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, the 547-room Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown and the 550-room Belmont Hotel Mactan.
“Our hotel properties within The Mactan Newtown will be ready to handle the accommodation requirements of the Mactan Expo Center. And one thing everyone should look forward to the Mactan Expo Center is the fact that it will just be a few steps away to the beach,” said Cleofe Albiso, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts managing director.
