The city government of Davao is building up the city’s tourism sector by exploring other areas as additional tourist attractions.
Councilor Al Ryan Alejandre, chairperson of the Committee on Tourism and Beautification, said on Friday that establishing more tourist attractions is one of the mandates of Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte.
“Nagalibot ang team sa City Mayor’s Office, tourism, DENR sa lain laing mga distrito ug ikalima nami naglibot ug giadtuan nato ang mga falls sa District 2 ug 3. Ako nakakuyog nako ug ikaduha last week sa Malabog,” he said over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR) on Friday.
He said two sites in Malabog, Paquibato District have the potential to become tourist sites.
“On Saturday, I will be back again in Paquibato to look for more areas for tourism kay daghan kaayo ta ug nindot nga mga falls sa dakbayan nga wala pa nato na explore,” he also said.
Alejandre also said that the city will also ensure that nature will not be destroyed by opening new tourism sites by establishing guidelines and mechanisms.
“Initiative ni sa city government kay dako ang atong land area. Ubay ubay na ang among nakita and after ani, we will assess kung unsa tong mga posible, himoan ug road network ug security measures. Sa atoang mga private sectors they are making tourism plans either entertainment and leisure. Karon Sabado musaka ko ug bukid balik kauban ang CMO to evaluate kung posible ba,” he said.
Some of the popular tourist spots in Davao City include Eden Nature Park, Davao Crocodile Park, Malagos Garden Resort, Davao Bamboo Sanctuary, Philippine Eagle Center, Bu-Da (Bukidnon-Davao) for cool weather and lush vegetation, Roxas Night Market, and The Garden of Eden Restored.
