With 5,164 square kilometres, Davao Oriental is the biggest province in Davao Region contributing around 32.82% to the total regional land area. The province is home to approximately 517,000 people and has adequate number of competent professionals and skilled workers.
Davao Oriental’s strategic location as ‘Gateway to the Pacific’ is one of its comparative advantages. It is proximate to the neighboring countries across the Pacific such as, the Palau Group of Islands, Micronesia, the Marianas, Guam, Taiwan, and a portion of North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Under the pacific gateway perspective, there are potential areas for investments which we intend to explore. These are agri-industry with emphasis on food production and processing; marine and fishery development; tourism development; renewable energy development; and, connectivity enhancement.
On travel and tourism, Davao Oriental offers a wide selection of natural beauty spots that can capture even the most jaded tastes. We have majestic waterfalls, mystic lakes and rivers, refreshing hot and cold springs, White-sand beaches scattered all over the province, exciting diving and surfing sites, captivating and mysterious caves . and, several exotic islands which are ideal destination for retreats and entertainment. Another pride of the province is the amazing pygmy or bonsai forest - home to diverse flora and fauna and exotic wildlife species- the Hamiguitan Mountain Range Wildlife Sanctuary – the first and only site in Mindanao inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
