The Department of Tourism (DOT Region 11) – Southern Mindanao recorded over 1.4 million foreign and
domestic visitors to Davao last year. “Around 97 percent are tourists and many of them are corporate
travelers," DOT Assistant Secretary Arturo Boncato remarked.

eco-tourism destination and a primary destination for meetings, incentives, conventions, and events or
exhibitions (MICE). “We encourage more expos like D.I.T.E. to take place here and capture the
Mindanao’s best in both trade and travel,” stated Asec. Boncato.

Technology Davao, and PrintPackPlas Davao, we are providing more opportunities and greater exposure
