ROUND-TRIP BUS TRANSFER FROM MANILA


Another problem that plagued this popular Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark was transportation. Getting to Angeles City, Pampanga from Manila was not much of a problem for most but the last leg of the journey from the bus station in Dau to the Hot Air Balloon site was not as easy as one might expect. The return trip was even more difficult as thousands of participants all decided to leave roughly the same time. Those who drove enjoyed the journey much more until they arrived in Clark and had a hard time finding a convenient place to park their cars. Many had to walk a long way to get to and from the hot air balloon site. For the 2012 Philippines Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark, a special Hot Air Balloon Festival bus service was added. Participants can now board the bus in one of the designated pickup locations in Metro Manila, enjoy the 70-minute journey and arrive fresh and ready to enjoy the Hot Air Balloon festival.

Price for the ROUND-TRIP bus transfer from Manila is php550/person and tickets must be purchased in advance.

HOW TO ORDER YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE TO AVOID LONG LINES AT THE SITE

Each year in February, thousands of visitors arrive in Clark for a weekend of festivities surrounding the hot air balloons that gather up in the same location inside Air Force City near the Clark International Airport called DMIA. The large volume of arrivals strains the infrastructure of Clark past its limits. As the Hot Air Balloon festival approaches its climax on Sunday, support facilities and services start to buckle under pressure and complaints from participants mount.

Learning from past experiences, these major complaints are being addressed for the 2012 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Philippines.

Topping the list of major complaints is the dispensing of tickets. Participants arrive in Clark were forced to put up with poorly managed queues to buy their admission tickets. Exposure to dust and the hot sun made the experience almost intolerable. To solve this problem, tickets for the 2012 Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark can now be purchased in advance. Tickets can then be picked up at one of the pre-selected outlets where participants can freshen up and enjoy some refreshments before joining the Hot Air Balloon Festivals.
