June is Cebu Business Month and it will be commemorated by various industry conferences, forums,  exhibits and  the “Great Cebu Sale.”

With the theme “Excite Cebu! Power up Global Business,” the festivity aims to showcase Cebu at its finest and allow the public to experience the province’s booming industries from tourism to  IT to creative industries to manufacturing and business process outsourcing. 

First celebrated in 1996, the annual event is a month-long jubilee of the business community aimed to stimulate business and tourism growth and development in Cebu and its neighboring islands.

The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) is taking the lead in the preparations for the festivity.

According to CCCI President Lito R. Maderazo, “Cebu’s strength is really in trade and commerce and we want to capitalize on this.  With good infrastructure, we want to further promote Cebu as a destination for foreign and domestic investments.”

Among the major activities are forums and conferences on  a wide range of business topics from incentives to economic prospects to infrastructure.

There will also be a Tourism Congress and counterpart events for the creative industries, IT-BPO, and manufacturing industries.

Home-grown brands – from clothing to food and furniture – will be showcased at the various events.

The Great Cebu Sale, which will be organized  in cooperation with Ayala, SM Malls and other commercial establishments, will feature products from local manufacturers and exporters
