Dear Vivien Mabingnay,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 29, 2019 11:58:44 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Visitors Counted By the Department of Tourism (DOT)  in 2019.

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. 

According to DOT Region IV-A, for the purpose of tourism statistics data gathering, their definition of accommodation establishments are all commercial establishments. Tourist arrival in accommodation establishments is assumed as overnight visitor arrival.

Their data for 2019 is still partial and is not approved for reporting so they can only provide the 2018 data that has been validated and verified. The number of overnight tourist arrival for the Municipality of Tanay for 2018 is 999,453.

Please note that we are only able to provide some of the information you have requested because we are still waiting for the data from DOT Region III.
