On April 30 the BOSZ Chapter of NAITAS (National Association Of Independent Travel Agents) held an general membership meeting and ocular visit to the new Arirang Beach Resort in San Antonio, Zambales. The resort has a very nice uncrowded location on the South China Sea in the area known as San Miguel. Entrance to the resort is by a small road through a residential area that continues alongside a inland waterway. Crossing a small footbridge brings you to the resort. Seahorse tours is familiar with the area as it is next to the location where we depart for our island hopping tours. Arirang Beach Resort is being developed by Yong's Travel who is located by the Freeport Exchange on the Subic Bay Freeport

While the resort is still underdevelopment it is in soft operation. Accommodations are currently available in a few types. A native hut with simple sleeping arrangements ( Bathroom facilities in a common area) right on the beach, as well as cottages. Other rooms are still under construction. There is a good size restaurant and a recreation area with a pool table. Karaoke is also available in one of the beach side pavilions. We were served a very nice lunch with both Korean and Filipino foods. San Miguel has a number of small fishing boats and the freshness of the seafood really showed it.

The resort is finalizing its room rates and as soon as they are completed we will be
adding them to our offerings. This resort will appeal to those who want to enjoy the beach in a relaxed uncrowded atmosphere.

During the course of the membership meeting was a election of new officers. Charles Davis President of Seahorse Tours was elected as President of the BOSZ Chapter of Naitas.
