General Santos 
City– As part of its efforts to drive more business and investments, the Department of Tourism (DOT) SOCCSKSARGEN Office organized a forum on Friday (Sept. 4) to pitch high-yield tourism portfolio that can stimulate travel in General Santos City and Sarangani.
The forum provided an avenue for local and national government offices to demonstrate the regionโs established tourism base, along with investment incentives they can offer to key financiers, property developers, and tourism enterprises.
In light of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that jolted Southern Mindanao last June, the investment forum also sought support for the recovery of affected tourism stakeholders in some the localityโs hardest hit areas.
Supported by the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), the forum also featured prospective ventures on the regionโs retirement hub, wellness facilities, and eco-tourism destinations.
Meanwhile, local executives from the Municipality of Kiamba, Sarangani Province, and General Santos City also shared their respective investment profiles, unique value propositions, and existing markets in their area.
Known as the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, General Santos City presented investment opportunities in its emerging dive, and Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) tourism portfolio.
The municipality of Kiamba in Sarangani also made a strong pitch for its beaches and natural attractions, including its famed Tuka Marine Park, among other tourism hubs.
