At the centre of the islands

Cebu sits in the middle of the archipelago and is the country’s busiest seaport. More than 80% of inter-island shipping capacity is based here, and its domestic air and sea links outnumber Manila’s.

A base for exporters

Cebu leads export industries including carrageenan, fashion accessories, furniture, gifts, housewares and toys.

Call centres and IT

Cebu City is fast becoming the call centre and information technology capital of the Philippines.

An entrepreneurial workforce

Cebuanos are independent, entrepreneurial and self-reliant, and the workforce is highly educated and geared to non-agricultural work.

Gateway for tourism

Cebu is the primary tourist gateway for the central and southern Philippines.

Modern and growing

Exports, investment from within and outside the country, and government infrastructure projects make Cebu City a strategic choice for international business.
