Dear Sir/Madam:
I would need these 10 year data for a trend analysis on my research here in Japan. I was tasked to do a study on the viability of homestays in our country. I have been trying to get the information from the local DOT in Batanes and Kiangan, Ifugao and DOT internally but they have not been replying to my emails since February.
1. Total number of tourists in Batanes.
2. Total number of tourists in Kiangan, Ifugao.
2. Total number of tourists in the Philippines.
Thank you.
