What it is

The Davao Tourist Passport, in one app.

A programme by the Davao Tourism Association: member restaurants, cafés, stays and experiences across the city, each offering its own perk — carried on your phone instead of in a booklet.

Nothing to carry

The booklet stays in your bag; the digital edition stays on your phone, ready wherever you are in the city.

Find places as you go

Browse member establishments by area or category instead of flipping through pages to find what's nearby.

One list, kept current

Member establishments and their perks are updated in one place, so the list you're looking at stays accurate.

Perks stay with the establishment

Each perk is set and honoured by the establishment offering it — the passport just makes it easy to find.
