Greetings!
I received your reply and I am willing to provide details regarding our thesis study in order to get the information I am requesting.
I am Rovie Ann C. Cervantes, a 4th year BS Tourism Management student of the Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges in Nabua, Camarines Sur. As one of our final requirements before getting our bachelor’s degree, we have to conduct a thesis.
Our thesis is entitled Travel Motivations of Potential Tourists in 5th District of Camarines Sur.
One of the key contents for our thesis is the research methodology, which requires the demographics of the potential tourists in 5th District of Camarines Sur. Since our study relates to tourism, may I ask your good office for assistance in providing the following data for our thesis:
1. Data on Tourist Arrivals (local) in 5th District of Camarines Sur from January-March 2020
Rest assured that the aforementioned data will be strictly used for academic purposes only. Your cooperation would be of great help in making our thesis a success. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me – 09391960427 / rovieanncolina@gmail.com. Thank you very much!
