Visit Davao Fun Sale and a Lot More Reasons to Visit Davao This 2015

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It's more fun in the Philippines! All 7,107 islands should be explored!

As much as we desire to discover new places beyond our country, we should prioritize touring our own Philippines. You would be surprised that there are a lot of scenic and culturally-rich areas you've never been to. Our country is teeming with spectacular natural resources that it is baffling why we are still trying to catch up with the rest of the world.

Another great place to visit is Davao. I've been there for so many times in the past since I was a former ICT Officer of a United Nations organization in the Philippines and we had an office in Davao. I was in charge of ICT or Information and Communications Technology so I was very much in demand during the first few months since we were still setting up our ICT infrastructure.

However, the last time I was there was way back 2008 when I left the organization and setup my own business. It would be fun to be back in Davao soon as I know there must be a lot of changes or development already.

Recently, the Davao Tourism force led by Miss Eden Josephine Larano-David, Chief Tourism Operations Officer of DOT Davao, held a media event to announce their Visit Philippines 2015 travel recommendations and upcoming events specifically the Visit Davao Fun Sale which will be held on April 3 to May 15, 2014. This is a much-awaited city-wide tourism campaign to promote Davao this Holy Week and Summer. It is an offshoot of this year's The Big Davao Fun Sale which is a shopping sale program.
