Travel agency owner Wanda Teo announced in the weekly Club 888 press briefing the coming of NDS Voyages Princess Danae ship out of France after it docks at Papua New Guinea.
“In the past years, cruise ships only docked in Manila and Cebu. It took me some time to convince this group to try and take a look of Davao,” said Teo.
As soon as they arrive, French nationals will be taken to visit selected tourist destinations in the city.
The Department of Tourism also allotted a budget to show them around.
The visitors will be brought to Davao’s newest and largest park, the People’s Park; will be given a personal encounter with the eagles at the Philippine Eagle and will also be brought to SUL Orchids, given that the French love orchids.
Other areas where the visitors are set to visit are Davao’s shopping havens like Aldevinco where they can buy authentic Davao goods, and the newest mall in the city, Abreeza.
“This would be the start of more cruise ships including Davao in their destinations. We also expect good sum of revenues we can get through this visit,” she added.
Princess Danae passengers are given an entire day to tour around the city. They will also go to Cebu and Manila as part of the regular stop-overs.
Teo urged Dabawenyos to use this opportunity to show hospitality to the visitors as this could be the start for the coming in of more tourists to Davao.

Davao Fish Port Complex


The Davao Fish Port Complex (DFPC) is the seventh commercial fish port to be operated and managed by the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA). It is, however, the second major fishing port established in Mindanao Area. This 4.5 hectare complex serves as a center for the collection, processing, storage and packaging of fishery and marine products for distribution to Davao City's area of influence and to the export market.

The DFPC has become a major transshipment point and center of trade within the East ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA). The modernization of commercial fishery coupled with the required infrastructure is the country's commitment to EAGA.

Location


Situated in Daliao, Toril District, the DFPC is about 16 kilometers from the center of Davao City. It is located 125 degrees 35 degrees North latitude and 7 degrees N 10 degrees East longitude.

Services and Port Operations


In May 1995, local commercial fishing vessel started unloading their catch and conduct fish trading activities in this traditional landing site. Regular market hours are from 5:00 to 8:00 in the morning.

The breakthrough in foreign transshipment operations took place on July 12, 1995 when a Taiwanese fishing vessel unloaded, processed and packed its fish cargo at DFPC and eventually exported it to market abroad. These foreign fishing vessels are serviced by transshipment agents occupying bays at the market hall.

A One-Stop-Action-Center (OSAC) was established inside DFPC to facilitate processing of documents for fishery products that are to be exported and for the entry and dispatch of foreign fishing vessels.

Processing of marine products such as prawn, tuna, octopus, and cuttlefish are undertaken at the refrigeration building in addition to 24 hours ice production.
