Witness Aurora’s wonderful sights, fascinating culture and agricultural prospects.
Agriculture is the main economic driver in the Province of Aurora, employing approximately half of the population in the country’s booming industry. About 49,991 hectares or 15% of the provincial land area are cultivated farmlands. Major crops include rice, coconut, coffee, bananas, root crops, corn, citrus fruits, peanuts, and abaca. The province is also a major producer of the Philippine's best-tasting virgin coconut distilled wine, also known as "lambanog," which is made from the sap or “tuba” of coconut tree flowers.
Aurora province has also proven itself as one of the tourist destinations in the Philippines. The Pacific Ocean brings the Northeast Monsoon wind, creating versatile waves suitable for surfing amateurs, enthusiasts, and professionals—earning the reputation as a world-renowned surfing hub.
Some of the fascinating water spots in Aurora are the Dinadiawan Beach, Sabang Beach, Dingalan White Beach, Dimadimalangat Islet, Dicasalarin Bay, and Banju Springs.
As one of the fastest growing Asian countries, the Philippines comes back to the 14th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) to highlight the promising trade and investment opportunities in its booming agri-tourism sector.

The country also aims to kick off more intra-regional trade activities in Southeast Asia as this year's host of the 30th ASEAN Summit.
Leading this year's exhibit is the province of Aurora, highlighting the immense agri-business potential of its vast arable lands and rich marine biodiversity with more than half of its locals working in the agriculture sector. With its ideal environment and topography, the province is a major producer of coconut, rice, banana and rootcrops; while its pristine bodies of water make it a perfect tourist paradise for watersports and beach enthusiasts with a year-round surfing season along its coastlines.
The Province of Aurora will take center stage as the Philippines’ “City of Charm” in the 14th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO). Its local government will highlight their province’s wonderful sights, fascinating culture, ant its promising investment opportunities.
