Good day! I would like to request the dataset of the number of the domestic and international tourist arrival in Boracay from year 2000-2023. Additionally, if possible, I would greatly appreciate access to monthly data specifically for the years 2018 to 2023.
The purpose of this request is to support my undergraduate research paper, which aims to localize and build upon the study conducted by Metilelu, Adeniyi, & Ekum on "Modelling the Dynamic Effects of Environmental Pollution on Coastal Tourism in Nigeria." In this context, I intend to utilize the requested dataset to model the dynamic impact of environmental pollution on coastal tourism in Boracay.
My research endeavors to address critical issues in Boracay, including fostering sustainable tourism practices, optimizing resource management, enhancing environmental protection efforts, and promoting economic resilience in the face of tourism-related challenges.
Access to this data would be invaluable for my research and contribute to a better understanding of the environmental and socio-economic challenges faced by coastal tourism destinations like Boracay.
Thank you very much.

In this context, I intend to utilize the requested dataset to model the dynamic impact of environmental pollution on coastal tourism in Boracay.
The study will involve a comprehensive analysis comparing domestic and international tourist arrivals with the level of environmental contamination and degradation. Another objective is to understand how these factors are interconnected and how changes in tourist arrivals may influence the availability and utilization of local resources in Boracay.
