Statistics on Tourism in the Philippines During the Pandemic

Requested from DOT by E. Mallen at 08:34 AM on Oct 11, 2021.
Purpose: Research and academic purposes
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2016 - 10/11/2021

Mallen 08:34 AM, Oct 11, 2021

Good day,

I would like to have data on the following:
1. Number of domestic visitors in our top tourist spots from 2016-2021
2. Number of international visitors in our top tourist spots from 2016-2021

I currently have a course called Data Journalism wherein one of our major projects is to share our experiences regarding data requests from agencies as well as what we think about the freedom of information in our country.

It would be very much appreciated if my request is granted. I chose this topic because a comparative analysis of it would be a good topic.
