Davao overview

Davao is one of the tourist-friendly places in the Philippines. Surrounded by picture-perfect landscapes – from the pristine beaches of Pearl Farm in Samal Island to the country’s highest mountain Mt Apo – Davao is a place that you should never miss. In addition to Davao’s sought-after attractions, the area is also blessed with hospitable and peace-loving people. For tourists who are fearful of pickpockets, you can loosen your grip on your belongings while in Davao. The place is considered by locals as the most crime-free place in the country. Compared to other big cities in the Philippines swarmed by snatchers, tourists can feel safe here as most streets are guarded by the police. Need to report to an emergency? Call 911! You heard it right – Davao is proud to be the only place in Asia to have a 911 emergency service similar to that of the US and Canada.
