I'm conducting an architecture thesis about a Marine Research Center integrating Ecotourism on Siargao Island. Requesting a data about total Tourist arrivals in Siargao Island from 2016 to 2023. I understand the importance of transparency and responsibility when handling sensitive information, and I am committed to ensuring that this data is used for legitimate and valuable purposes.
The purpose of requesting this data is to comprehensively analyze tourism demand. This analysis will serve as a basis for understanding trends and patterns in tourist arrivals in Siargao Island. The demand will help me to understand what would be the spaces that I will incorporate in my design to accommodate those demands and determine the sustainability and potential ROI of the project. By examining the historical data from 2016 to 2023, we aim to identify fluctuations, seasonal trends, and potential areas for tourism development.
