luxury rooms. The Manor is also an accredited AAA<br />
Resort by the Department of Tourism since 2002.<br />

Leisure, Inc., Mr. Alberto Q. Avanceña, to assume the<br />
position of General Manager of the hotel.<br />

How the SCTEX help The Manor or Camp John Hay?<br />
With the onset of the SCTEX and the decrease of travel<br />
time to Baguio, an increase of about 8 percent has<br />
been manifested in room revenues for the hotel.<br />
What is your advice for those who plan to invest as a<br />
locator in the John Hay Special Economic Zone?<br />
Since investments in Camp John Hay are on the<br />
rise, there are a lot of benefits an investor may take<br />
advantage of since the camp is a special economic<br />
zone. I highly encourage investors to capitalize and<br />
play a part in the dynamic commerce developing<br />
inside the camp.<br />
Any other matters you want our readers to know?<br />
The Manor, being at the heart of Camp John Hay,<br />
makes this hotel more appealing to local guests<br />
and foreigners. Its historical charm, being the rest<br />
and recreation facility of the American servicemen,<br />
brings uniqueness into the hotel. The Camp itself<br />
is a community of its own; where recreational and<br />
leisure activities abound. We have an 18-hole, par-69<br />
championship golf course, MileHi Center for shopping,<br />
restaurants and coffee shops for dining, and outdoor<br />
sports facilities, such as trekking, rappelling, various<br />
rides and services, paint ball, horseback riding, etc.<br />
