Good Day Ma'am,
here are my replies
"Reasonable description of the information requested.

Additionally, we assume that since you used "tourist arrivals", you only refer to foreign tourists;"
I am currently working on a research/dissertation that involves foreign and domestic tourists that arrived or have visited Laguna. If it is possible to get the total for all Laguna municipalities. the latest number would suffice. i have read that in calamba alone had a total of 38,000 local tourist and this was in March 2022.
an estimate would be very helpful.
thank you very much.
