Philippine Experience Program: Davao leg

Davao de Oro officials led by Gov. Dorothy Montejo-Gonzaga welcomed the delegates to the “Philippine Experience Program: Davao leg” of the Department of Tourism (DOT) on June 29 at the province’s premier destination, Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation Resort in Mabini.

No less than DOT Sec. Maria Esperanza Christina Garcia Frasco and Davao Regional Dir. Tanya Rabat Tan led the powerhouse of dignitaries including the members of the diplomatic corps, tourism association leaders and other stakeholders, who experienced the province’s brand of hospitality as well as a first-hand experience to the island-resort with a warm welcome by the resort’s CEO Tomas P. Lorenzo.

In her welcome message, the governor expressed her gratitude to the dignitaries saying “your support and commitment are invaluable.” She also underscored the declaration of the province as insurgency-free as it recently celebrated its 1st anniversary last June 22.

“As we have made great strides in peace and development. Davao de Oro has become a thriving zone and a beacon of growth and opportunity in the tourism sector. With breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality, our province is an ideal destination for travelers from around the world,” she said.

She also extended her sincere thanks to the Lorenzo Family “for having considered investing in resorts and related ventures in our province.” “With your partnership, we can unlock Davao de Oro’s full potential and create a thriving economy for all.”

The pilot leg is also part of the “LOVE THE PHILIPPINES” promotional tour of DOT, an enhanced tourism campaign slogan under PBBM’s administration.///
