Hi! I would like to request the tourist arrivals for Region 4-A, Calabarzon, before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
This will serve as a valuable resource for our undergraduate architectural thesis, focusing on the cultural and tourism aspects of CALABARZON. The intended project is a CALABARZON Cultural Tourism Hub with a potential location in one of the region's provinces. The gathered data will contribute to understanding the study's context and assist in estimating the potential tourist volume the hub can accommodate.
Thank you very much.
