Requirements for Businesses
Coffee and chocolate businesses must be locally owned and offer at least five coffee or chocolate drinks that qualify crawlers for a sticker. At least 50 establishments will be selected to participate through a raffling system by the executive committee, provided they meet all guidelines.
Expanded Participation
Willenito P. Tormis Jr., CTOO officer-in-charge, told the City Information Office (CIO) that this year's Kape ug Tsokolate Crawl has been expanded to include additional cafés and chocolate stores. This provides Dabawenyos and tourists with more opportunities to explore Davao's homegrown flavors.
“We have extended our Duaw Davao Kape and Tsokolate Crawl to make it more inclusive. Before, only a few small shops participated. Now, we have opened it up to a bigger scale so that more people can join. So that more Dabawenyos can visit their establishments,” he said.
