Department of Tourism(DOT)

Good Day!

I would like to request the dataset of the monthly number of resources in Boracay (per month) both natural and man-made) such as beaches, tourist establishments like resorts, hotels, restaurants, and water sports centers, and other components that may be of tourist interest on years 2018-2023.

I intend to utilize the dataset to model the dynamic impact of environmental pollution on coastal tourism in Boracay. The study will involve a comprehensive analysis on the relationship between tourist, resources, and contamination.

Thank you.
