The Department of Tourism is working to see tourist numbers return to pre-pandemic levels by 2025, even in Mindanao.
DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines – The Mindanao Tourism Expo officially opened in Davao City on Friday, January 27, with Tourism Secretary Cristina Frasco announcing plans to boost Mindanao tourism by highlighting lesser-known destinations on the island and signing a memorandum of agreement with other government departments to improve security.
The expo runs until Sunday, January 29, and features exhibits from various tourism companies and government offices. Frasco graced the opening of the first ever three-day Mindanao Tourism Expo at the SMX Convention Center in SM Lanang Premier in Davao where she said the new DOT campaign would “highlight the lesser-known yet fabulous world-class destinations” in the country’s second-largest island, which has been left behind due to years of insurgency and extremism.
Tanya Rabat Tan, the DOT director in the Davao Region, said Mindanao is home to a wide range of attractions, vibrant cultures, friendly communities, and rich history – things that should be capitalized on in the tourism thrust in the Southern Philippines.
