THE Davao City Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Inc. (DCCCII) is optimistic about business prospects for 2017 as the city continues to grab the interest of both tourism and business investors.
Incoming DCCCII President Captain Ronald Go looks forward to next year as a year of opportunities for the chamber and for its members.
Aside from new projects that will be launched next year, Go said the chamber will continue with their flagship activities next year like the Davao Agri-Trade Expo that will be held on September 21 to 23, 2017.
The Davao Investment Conference will be held in July 2017.
Both Go and the incumbent president Bonifacio Tan estimate that with former Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential win, the number of people coming in the city has doubled.
Local tourists and business investors alike are curious as to what the city can offer.
As the business sector is expected to flourish and be busier, the chamber hopes to be able to bring the services their members need.
“We hope to be able to help our members especially the small medium enterprises as we move forward and try to gain more markets for their products and services so that we can continue this growth,” said Go.
In a meeting that the chamber executives had with President Duterte, Go said the president is pleased with the 9 percent growth of the economy and personally requested the members of the chamber to sustain it and improve over the years for Davao City.
