The Statistics, Economic Analysis, and Information Management Division (SEAIMD) headed to Baguio City to conduct the Tourism Product Market Survey (TPMS) last November 9-18, 2021. The enumerators were stationed at key attractions including Tam-awan Village, Diplomat Hotel, and Burnham Park; and in key accommodation establishments La Fayette Luxury Suites and Le Monet Hotel.

The survey aims to gather data on visitor's travel preferences, spending, and demographic profile, among others. Data collected shall be used as inputs for tourism policy and development planning.

In partnership with the Department of Tourism Region VI, the Statistics, Economic Analysis and Information Management (SEAIMD) conducted the Tourism Enterprise Forum - Business Indicators (TEF-BI) for Boracay tourism stakeholders last 27 October 2021.

In her opening remarks, Regional Director Christine Mansinares emphasized the importance of statistics for tourism development. Ms. Pheobe Zelie Areño of DOT Region VI provided the updates on tourism statistics in Western Visayas. Ms. Rey Jean Almazan of SEAIMD discussed the basic business indicators and the templates used for data gathering. The Malay Municipal Tourism Office was also asked to deliberate the schedule of their data submission.

The training was attended by participants representing the accommodation establishments, tour operators, and other establishments. The forum aims to promote the appreciation of statistics among tourism enterprises.

On October 25-26, 2021, the Statistics, Economic Analysis, and Information Management Division conducted an orientation on the use of Market Assessment Tool for Tourist Attractions (MATTA) among tourism officers of Western Visayas. For the field work, the participants visited two establishments - the Fairways & Bluewater Boracay and the Belmont Hotel Boracay.

The MATTA is intended to help policymakers and development managers assess the market potential of sites. It is proposed to include MATTA as a standard template for tourism data gathering nationwide.

This pilot conduct of site assessment is part of the activities in the 10-day visit of SEAIMD last October in Boracay Island.
