Good day Atty. Jennifer A. Olba,
I would like to request information regarding the tourist arrival of both local and foreign people going to Samal Island, in the last five years. For me to know how much growth that is happening and will be happening -in the tourism aspect- in Samal Island.
It would also be of great help if your office has any other information that would help me in defending my argument that Samal Island is a developing tourist spot destination and will further develop especially after the construction of the Samal Island- Davao Connector (SIDC) Bridge.
Thank you for your time and I am hoping for your positive response to my request. Any help you could extend would be a very contribution towards the improvement of my thesis.
Respectfully,
M. Lim
