General Santos City is situated at the southern 
part of the Philippines, it is bounded by three municipalities of Sarangani Province and two municipalities of South Cotabato, namely, Alabel, Malungon, Maasim, Polomolok and T'boli.
It has a total land area of 53,606-hectare, 
which is 1.7% of Region XI's entire area. 
35% or 19,040 hectares of the whole area are suitable for urban uses. Around 23,000 hectares 
 can be used for intensive and specialized 
 agriculture while 11,564 hectares of higher slopes are available for reforestation and grazing purposes 
The city has six rivers, three of which, namely, Silway, Siguel and Buayan rivers, 
are rich sand and gravel quarry sites

General Santos has a justly earned reputation as the boom city of the Philippines. General Santos ranks only second to Manila for fish production, the prize catch being giant yellow fin tuna, many of which are destined for the Japanese sashimi market. Aside from the Fish Industry, businesses also include Fruit Processing, Packing and Canning, Prawn Processing, Meat Processing, Agriculture, and many others. 
Major products include corn, rice, coconut and copra, fresh and canned pineapple, bananas, asparagus, frozen and canned tuna, livestock and poultry, fruits and vegetables, coconut oil, forestry products, handicrafts, processed food products and minerals.

The brand new international airport affords an excellent vista of the city and Sarangani Bay, while the ultra-modern Fishport is a spectacular example of  the city's economic potential. 

There exists a wide choice of comfortable places to stay in the City. For active backpackers and fast-paced business minds, our lodging facilities range from budget accomodations to modern hotels.

Our stay-in hosts offer a variety of in-house services coupled with warm rural hospitality in the midst of GenSan's bustling urban climate. Amenities would include swimming pools, business centers, national and international direct telephone lines, cellular lines, cable TV, Internet and E-mail services. Conference venues also provide facilities which could serve a team of 10 to 1,000 guests

The city's restaurants and eateries offer not only native Mindanaoan and Filipino but Asian and Western cuisine as well. Fish and seafood probably do not come any fresher than in General Santos. Tuna "kinilaw" and "sinugba" is a must-eat in the place. Food prices are also unbelievably lower in this city.
