It makes sense why Davao City has become–and will remain to be one of the top tourist destinations in the Asia Pacific region.

Simple wonders from nature, the warmth of its people, and simple but top of the class amenities for tourists from all walks of life are high on the list.

The Davao City Tourism Operations Office said there are the 10 things that sets Davao City apart from the rest:

1. Typhoon-Free Zone — Because Davao City is absolutely typhoon-free and enjoys good weather all year round, there is an abundance of flora and fauna as well as food, water, and livelihood.

It is also ideal for outdoor activities because of the stable weather condition. It is a good season for adventure and sports anytime of the year so one is not limited to just the summer months.

2. Best water in the world — Davao City’s tap water has been tested internationally for quality against all the major bottled waters sold in the market and was adjudged the best in terms of cleanliness, safety, mineral content, and taste. (more…)
