Requested from DOT by F. Carnice at 10:01 AM on
Aug 31, 2022.
Purpose: Research for publication of PSA Bohol's Countryside in Figures 2022 Edition
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2020 - 12/31/2020
Tracking no: #DOT-812978606736
Carnice 10:01 AM, Aug 31, 2022
Hi. This is Fred Carnice again of PSA Bohol. Thank you for the data you have provided. These are really helpful. I'd like to add another request, just to give more context to the data provided:
1. Average Occupancy Rate by month: Bohol, 2020 (No. of rooms occupied, No. of rooms available, Total Guest-nights, Ave. Occupancy Rate, and Ave. Length of Stay).
I'd like to clarify, is the "Average Length of Stay" measured in days?
As for the sent file "2019 BOHOL REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF TRAVELLERS (FINAL REPORT)," the pie chart is labeled "2019" when it comes from the table "2018." Is this okay?
