Hello!
This is Audree and I am an analyst at a consultancy firm. May I request for any statistics of tourists visiting the Palawan Province from 2015 to 2020, if available. I am specifically looking for this information: Average Stay in Palawan, Average Expenditure per day, Average Salaries, etc.
If this information is only available in a bigger area i.e. MIMAROPA Region or the Philippines as a whole, please still share this with me as any available information would greatly help.
Thank you!
All the best,
Audree
