Davao Could Be the Next Vacation Capital of Asia

Posted on December 6th, 2007 in Travel Guide by Davao Hotel Guide

It has one of the most exciting developments in the country and region this decade, and we’ve been hearing many more positive appraisals on it. Davao City may well be the next vacation capital of Asia, if not the world.

And why not? Name it and Davao City has it. Well, probably not everything—for now. But give it enough time to bud and blossom and soon this promising city in the South may well be witnessing an exodus of vacationers from various parts of the world. For one, it is the biggest city in the world—and this says so much about potential for progress, growth, income, popularity, and promotion.

Just imagine what a land mass of some 244,000 hectares can do. Add to this Davao City’s natural soil richness that makes all 244,000 hectares of it ideal for planting virtually any plant or tree and get top quality and bountiful harvest out of it. Then think about its many natural scenic spots and wonders that need only have a bit infrastructure grooming here and there, and propel more the hotel and resort industry, and we will soon have a giant tourism industry roaring in Davao City.

And what about the historical places? What about the orchards and farms and plantations that already exist and display proof of Davao City’s and its surroundings’ prospects for incredible development? Then there’s Mt. Apo the true potential of which has been barely scratched. And everybody knows how great Davao City is a place for unwinding, shopping, mountain trekking, orchid growing, sightseeing, surfing, diving, dining, real estate, and farming, among others. What more can one ask for? If we just improve more on preserving, improving and marketing the whole of Davao, Davao City may well be the next global vacation center.

Just talking about the wonder resort everybody fondly refers to as the Pearl Farm is enough to tickle the imagination about seaside escapades. Located just off the coast of Davao City near the famous Samal Island, Pearl Farm’s stilted houses on the shoreline stir romantic scenes of posh relaxation in cozy wooden cabins right over the sea. Imagine just standing out the stylish veranda with various kinds of fish teeming beneath the floor with the sea horizon staring the guest in the face.

The above are just some of Davao City’s possible areas of potential. If further improvements are done Davao City’s true latent capacity and worth will have finally been unleashed.
