INVESTING IN CEBU

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

For months I have been contributing articles that tackle some of the features that Cebu has to offer. From business establishments, restaurants, resorts to real estates, these are just components that the city of Cebu have been able to take the course into national success as well as getting into the global commerce. I, myself, am able to recognize these critical changes that molded spectacular opportunities for entrepreneurs to get in line, weight their options and jump unto the bandwagon.

Suddenly, I was able to realize that there were already a handful of visitors here in TotallyCebu.com and it would be great to let you guys know that question that’s probably been into your mind for a long time; WHYINVEST IN CEBU?

For sure I can’t help you with that. Dr. Phil might but I’ll just point out some advantages that Cebu can offer in terms of business opportunities. So, if you have time, read on.

Why Invest in Cebu?

Capabilities > Potential. I have talked about the tremendous upside of Cebu when it comes to the business industry. Actually, Cebu has already been demonstrating this potential for years, so I can say that Cebu has that capability to garner business groups and develop them because of Cebu’s excellent, or should I say impressive, economic track record.

Flourishing. Cebuanos have already recognized the economic improvement in Cebu and has thought of getting into it. When it comes to employment, Cebuanos pursue certain careers as well as provide the vital growth in raw and thriving companies. I guess, Cebu being the second largest city in country could also be accounted for as a rapidly growing city, economy-wise.

Export. Cebu spearheads the export of fashion accessories, gifts, furniture, house wares and toys in the country. In fact, in the last 5 yeas, Cebu has enjoyed continuous growth in the export industry, garnering an average by up to 20%, which is considered higher than any Philippine province and even the Philippines itself.

Shipping. The inter-shipping capacity of Cebu boasts an 80% average in the whole Philippines.

Tourism. Beaches, hotels, restaurants, condos are just some of the features that Cebu can offer in terms of tourism industry and has propelled into the tourism doorway for both Central and Southern Philippines. This is where most tourists feel the most safety since there are no volcanoes, not under the typhoon belt and is not in the earthquake zone.

Accessibility. Thinking of more sea linkages and domestic air accessibility? Cebu has that. In fact, Cebu has the most accessible area than the capital Manila.

Labor force. Cebu’s labor force is dedicated to non-agricultural lines and thus became one of the most productive work forces in the Philippines.

Balance. Opportunities and stability are also factors that Cebu has to offer. These are the components necessary to sustain vital investments and to stay competitive. Cebu is a cosmopolitan area that provides amenities for that idyllic lifestyle as well as support facilities.

Peace and order. Other than visitors being safe from natural adversities, the peace and order in
Cebu has remained at the lowest level for years. Crime rates are closely monitored to maintain security.
