The agreement was formalized between Philippine Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and Rahul Chaudhary, MD & CEO of CG Hospitality Global, in Manila, strengthening a first-of-its-kind public-private collaboration aimed at market development, joint promotions, and long-term tourism growth.
Central to this partnership is The Farm at San Benito- a proud member of CG Hospitality Global and a multi-award-winning eco-luxury holistic wellness resort south of Manila, Philippines. Spanning 52 hectares of lush greenery and overlooking Mount Malarayat, The Farm offers natural and holistic medically supervised health programs. With over 70 exclusive suites, villas, and residences, The Farm offers guests an unparalleled life-changing experience. Adding to its global distinction, the resort is soon to officially become part of the prestigious Marriott Autograph Collection.
Furthermore, CG Hospitality Global is under discussion for an aggressive expansion plan slated to open 20 such properties in the next five years. Plans are also underway to set up another project similar to The Farm, in India very soon.
