Tagbilaran

The City of Tagbilaran admitted that unlike other cities, they do not have a strong distinct industry. Although it is known to be the center of commerce, governance, education and transportation in the Province of Bohol, roughly 10 percent of the city`s total land area is devoted to agriculture. The services industry plays a major role in the City`s economy. As of 2004, this 2nd class City has more than 4,500 registered businesses, including 23 banks, 32 hotels and pension houses, eight colleges and universities, 54 restaurants and fastfood chains, five shopping centers and supermarkets.With its strategic geographic location, Tagbilaran City is the gateway of the booming tourism industry of Bohol province. Furthermore, the City`s proximity to Cebu also makes Tagbilaran an alternative spot for businessmen and investors since it is a less populated and less polluted place to do business.
