Cagayan de Oro is a major commercial hub and an attractive tourism destination, with many natural attractions including pure seas, lush forests and mountains, and activities such as trekking, white-water rafting, sailing and kayaking. Just offshore, Camiguin Island is an ASEAN Heritage Park with dramatic volcanoes and sandy beaches. For business travelers, a new economic zone is being planned just outside Cagayan de Oro, and construction work recently commenced on the expansion of Laguindingan Airport, Northern Mindanao’s main aviation gateway², to cater for an expected rise in visitation.
Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences, Cagayan de Oro will feature a choice of diverse accommodation styles, two restaurants, a rooftop pool, pool bar, a spa and fitness center. Meeting planners can take advantage of six event spaces and a large 872-square meter ballroom, and residence owners will be offered exclusive access to a private clubhouse.
