Hello, good day! The data I need which is the Tourist arrival in Siargao Island Based on Nationality during the year 2012 up to year 2021 is needed for thesis data gathering purposes.
I am an architecture student from Don Honorio Ventura State University with an undergraduate thesis entitled "Siargao International Airport: Revitalizing Sayak Airport as a New Gateway". This specific data is very much vital in my thesis proposal since I am in the process of proving that converting the current Sayak Domestic Airport in Siargao, which is one of the major modes of transportation to Siargao Island, into an international airport is important since the island has gained much popularity throughout the years and is expected to gain more tourists in the long years.
Having the proper information of how many tourists (both local and foreign) that visit Siargao monthly and annually will greatly help me in proving and presenting strong research basis to further defend my proposal.
With this being said, this data will only be used for academic and thesis purposes only. I am ready to answer any inquiries and comply the requirements needed to gather data. Thank you very much and have a good day.
