ABOUT Davao 360°: An Eco-Tourism Quest is a PBoX dedicated to the promotion, exploration, and conservation of Davao tourist attractions. It seeks to generate ecological awareness in the Davao Region by increasing knowledge beyond the basics through personal experiences of our international volunteers to be shared to its audience – domestic and international youth and potential tourists – through pictures, videos, and blog articles. The big idea is to create an online viral campaign employing the use of social networking and media sites (Facebook, YouTube, own website, etc.) to uphold the project, taking into consideration that the online market is the best avenue to easily reach wider audience base beyond local borders.

Mt. Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, is in Davao.

WHY CHOOSE DAVAO? The Davao Region is naturally gifted by nature. It is situated in a typhoon-free zone with good weather all-year round—adorned with bountiful jaw-dropping sceneries, majestic endemic species of flora and fauna, and glorious landscapes varying from wide mountain ranges and valleys to rich blue waters. Davao is the home of the country’s highest peak, Mt. Apo; national bird and world’s largest eagle, the Philippine Eagle; durian, the ―King of Fruits‖; and has the second best potable water in the world according to the World Health Organization. Davao is inhabited by many indigenous tribes, migrant settlers from all over the country, and a fast-growing number of emigrants co-existing in peaceful synergy; thus creating a vibrant mosaic of cultures, both old and new.

going beyond

The project aims to instill a sense of stewardship to its audience to protect and conserve Davao ecotourism areas intended to spawn beyond mere awareness but eventually a behavior change wherein they will see the profound importance of the preservation of these sites.

Davao is rapidly evolving into a center of agro-industrial business, trade and tourism thus becoming a crucial player in linking major growth centers in Mindanao and neighboring countries like Brunei and Indonesia. Bearing in mind all these remarkable features, AIESEC Davao has concocted a project that will showcase our region’s gifts to the world. The official seal of Davao City. Did you know that

Davao is the largest city in the Mindanao region of the Philippines?
