BACOLOD City – The city remained to be the key destination for business process outsourcing (BPO) operations in the country, according to a global real estate services company.
Colliers International Philippines said the city is among the pioneering provincial locations that entice global outsourcing companies.
The city is slowly being recognized as a major health information management hub outside Metro Manila, the company said.
However, the city did not retain its rank in the Tholons Annual Survey for competitive BPO locations globally.
Bacolod ranked 97th this year from last year’s 85th spot due to the decline of the Negros First Cyber Centre’s vacancy.
The city’s overall vacancy rate in second quarter of 2017 was 6.9 percent from 14.7 percent in the same period last year.
Despite the decline, the city remained one of the five most competitive BPO hubs in the country, Colliers said.
Dom Fredrick Andaya, director for office services of Colliers, said they are recommending Bacolod as an expansion or back-up site to BPO and knowledge process outsourcing locators. (PNA)
