Purpose: I am participating in the SPARTA Hackathons and I'm hoping to submit an analysis regarding tourism in Butuan
-For tourist demographics, I need the ff:
age
gender
nationality
address
-For the time period:
1990 - present day. If 1990 data is unavailable, the earliest available data possible
-I also would need visit specific data like:
date of arrival/departure to Butuan
length of stay
name and address of their accommodation
if you have records showing survey responses regarding the tourist experience in Butuan, that would be nice too/
A list showing all of the accredited establishments including the inactive ones.
Do you have records showing the number of visits per day in DOT recognized tourist spots? It will be very helpful to the research.
Finally, if you have an official guide for tourist on how to experience Butuan, I will ask for a copy of that too.
