Dear Director Austria,
I apologize for the late reply. What I mean by tourism statistics is the comparative tourists' arrival in the Province of Rizal from 2015-2020 to see the changes in the tourism volume through the years. Adding to that is the inventory of the tourists' destination, festivals, and food and drinks for the province of Rizal to analyze its key traits and its Unique Selling point. Lastly, if there are data on the destination origin of the tourists I would be joyed to have it too.
Thank you in advance and keep safe!
