TOURISM


Tagum city enjoys a munificent rising stream of people from all parts of the country, especially from its neighbors in Davao del Norte and the rest of Mindanao due to its tourism scene. As the “City of Festivals” and “City of Parks”, with many regular celebrations all year round and a number of destinations for learning and recreation, it caters to countless visitors on a regular basis.


As the seat of the provincial government of Davao del Norte, an Agriculture, Culture and Ecology (ACE) Tourism Destination in Region XI, Tagum has become an effective investors’ haven for tourism, as for any other prospect. There is a rising need of improved accessibility (air, water and land transport operations) inTagum. There is an increasing demand for tourist transportation services in the city as it links the rest of the world to the wonders and spots of the whole province. Being the fastest growing city in DavNor and having developed amenities, recreational facilities and hotels are also very feasible entries in the city as tourists visiting the province prefer to stay inTagum. Furthermore, Tagum, as the business capital of Davao del Norte, lives up to being a MICE city and is especially conducive to putting up centers for conventions, exhibitions and trade displays.

The tourism scene inTagum expands in parallel to its growing popularity and the city expects an increase in international visitor arrivals and domestic travel activities leading to a matching demand for new products, facilities and services. Consequential to this is the improvement of required human skills and competence development: expansion or installment of educational facilities in the city.


An increasing demand for sports facilities is also apparent inTagum. More and more people in the city and around the province are becoming interested in sporting activities especially with the installation of the Davao del Norte Sports and Tourism Complex in the city by the provincial government. This world-class facility has greatly supplemented the sports tourism scene of the city, together with the city government-owned Beach Volleydrome (inland beach volleyball court) and basketball gym in the Rotary Park. With these, sports competence has become a central activity for the youth in the city. Tagum is now a timely place for establishing sports gymnasiums or courts and sports supply stores. In another spectrum, extreme sports have also become popular inTagum. Skate Parks and related merchandise are also in trend.
