LOOK: A grand Travel Expo was launched today at SMX Convention Center Lanang, bringing together hundreds of tourism stakeholders, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and government partners from across the country. The event was spearheaded by Dr. Evangeline Tankiang-Manotok, Chairperson of PTTA Visayas-Mindanao 2026, highlighting the vital role of tourism in driving economic growth and regional development.
The gathering served as a significant platform for collaboration, networking, and the promotion of tourism opportunities in Mindanao. Participants discussed strategies to strengthen the region's tourism industry, showcase its rich cultural heritage, natural attractions, and emerging destinations, and encourage greater domestic and international visitor arrivals.
A key objective of the expo is to further position Mindanao—particularly Davao City—as one of the country's premier tourist destinations. The event also aims to promote Davao as a thriving investment hub, attracting both large-scale and small-scale investors by showcasing its business-friendly environment, strategic location, and vast economic potential.
