Good day.
Specifically, I would like to request information on:
• The province/s on Luzon and Visayas with the most number of DOT-accredited agritourism/ farm sites from the year 2023
(for example, Bukidnon province in Northern Mindanao last 2020)
• The number of tourist arrivals for the province with the most number of DOT-accredited agritourism/ farm sites from the year 2023
Unfortunately, I am not able to provide the title and objective of the study since our group is still in the process of developing preliminary ideas.
I have attached my school ID in my previous request. Thank you.
