Good day!

My thesis entitled "Nueva Ecija Touristic Expo-Museum Integrating Experiential Design" aims to intensify and maximize the promotion of Nueva Ecija's tourism industry, along with the envisioned development goals stated at Nueva Ecija's Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan for 2015-2026.

Hence, obtaining information about Nueva Ecija's tourism revenue would provide me an overview of how much the tourism industry of Nueva Ecija generates annually for the last 5 years. This could help me formulate projections and identify the economic relevance of my project.

I look forward for your kind consideration and prompt response. Thank you.
