CITY OF MATI, Davao Oriental— Each town and city
of Davao Oriental will soon have its respective tourism landmark before
Provincial Governor Corazon Malanyaon ends her term next year.
In an interview after the 48th founding anniversary program on July 01,
Malanyaon bared plans of setting her focus on tourism development during the
rest of her term.
“Ang concentration ko is more on really building on tourism infrastructures,
and promoting the province as a premiere tourist destination,” she said.
She revealed intentions of enhancing the respective cultural and natural
attractions in each town and city of the province while completing the on-going
tourism development projects.
She viewed her initiatives on eco-tourism development as a way of setting the
standards of future development projects that would be done by Davao Oriental
LGUs and the private sector.
Meanwhile, the audio-video presentation shown during the 48th anniversary
program said that Governor Malanyaon’s focus on tourism development “was
highlighted by the inscription of the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary
as a UNESCO World Heritage Site,” on June 2014.
The AVP also said that the inscription triggered the enhancement and
promotion of existing eco-tourism sites in Davao Oriental. These are the
Subangan Provincial Museum in Mati City, Pintatagan Welcome Park and
Dalan sa Cruz Shrine at the provincial entrance in the municipality
of Banay-banay, Aliwagwag Falls Eco Park in Cateel and the Cateel Riverview
Park and Memorial Shrine.
Other sites ready for tourist visits are the Baganga Sunrise Boulevard,
the Boston Pacific View Park, the Mt. Hamiguitan Eco-Park in San Isidro,
the Pusan Point in Caraga, and the Cape San Agustin Eco Park in Governor
Generoso.
The parks development in the towns of Manay, Tarragona and Lupon are still in the
pipeline. (PIA 11/ Jeanevive Duron-Abangan)
