Doing Business In Cebu

Investors throughout the world are considering the Philippines as a prime area for investment opportunities in the Southeast Asian region. This archipelago claims three different regions: Luzon, home to the country's capital, Manila; the Visayas, blessed with hospitable Filipinos and breathtaking natural resources; and Mindanao, the undiscovered virgin resource paradise of Asia. With friendly, hardworking labor resources, favorable investment laws, and a variety of industry opportunities, the Philippines is truly ideal for business.

The Visayas, particularly, is a brilliant investment choice. Cebu, the Queen City of the South, is a ready and logical choice for business investments. Among the many reasons to consider Cebu as a place for investment:

Excellent location. Cebu's location in the center of the Philippine archipelago makes it a natural port of utmost importance, with more than 80% of inter-island shipping capacity based here and even more domestic air and sea linkages than Manila.

Fastest-growing economy. Cebu City has an average growth rate significantly higher than that of the entire nation, and any other province. Cebu leads 78 other provinces in gross assets, equity and total income.

Export opportunities abound here. Cebu leads many export industries, including those of furniture, fashion accessories, carageenan, gifts, toys, and houseware.

Quality accommodations. Hotels in Cebu City are known to provide comfortable, cozy accommodations with all the comforts of home at one's beck and call. Many a hotel in Cebu, like the Casa Del Mar Resort, for instance, will allow direct reservations made on their official website, providing guests who book online a simple reservation Cebu hotel experience that gives them guaranteed rooms with instant confirmation.

Tourist paradise. Cebu consistently draws the biggest chunk of visitors to the Philippines per year. It is considered the tourist gateway to the Central and Southern Philippines.

Modern and Industrialized. Cebu is fast becoming the I.T. and call center capital of the country.

Safe. Compared to the rest of the country, Cebu is naturally safe, not lying within any earthquake zone or typhoon belt. There are no volcanoes on the island.

Trustworthy people. Cebuanos are naturally peaceful, with the lowest crime rates and the best peace and order record of all cities and provinces in the Philippines. Cebuanos are independent, self-reliant, and entrepreneurial, a highly educated workforce geared towards non-agricultural lines.
