Mabuhay! This is Yehleen Cesca Patino from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines and currently enrolled at Lyceum of the Philippines University - Batangas for the program PhD International Hospitality and Tourism Management. I am currently doing my dissertation proposal titled "Digital Marketing Strategies and Travel Motivation of Tourists in MIMAROPA Region: The Mediating Role of Destination Image". In line with this, I would like to request the list of tourists' arrival from 2023 to 2024 in MIMAROPA region and list of DOT accredited beaches in MIMAROPA region with estimated tourists' arrival from 2023-2024 only. This will be used to determine the appropriate number of population and sample size for the data gathering procedure. To establish a statistically appropriate population and sample size for my data collection. The output of the paper can help improve MIMAROPA's tourism visibility and appeal as well as the objectives stipulated in the Philippine Development Plan for 2023-2028 and AmBisyon 2040 ensuring sustainable operation of tourism destinations. Rest assured that this will be used for the above-mentioned reason. Thank you for your support and have a blessed day. Sincerely, Yehleen Cesca M. Patino Researcher
