ダバオ市観光事務所（City Tourism Operations Office 以下CTOO）は、12月初旬の計測では、12月中の観光客数が20万人に達すると予想していると発表した。この数値は事業者登録されたホテルの占有率に基づいているとのことだ。しかしCTOOによると、事業者登録されていないホームシェア（民泊）が数多くあり、それらを利用する観光客の人数を明らかにすることは難しいとのことだ。そのため観光客数の正確な統計を得られないという。
CTOOはホームシェア事業者に対し登録を行うよう促している。市は事業者へのビジネス支援策をある程度整えていることから、CTOOは、事業者登録は統計取得や税負担のみが目的ではないと強調した。また市議会でも、AirBnBなどのホームシェア事業に関して、新しい条例を制定する動きもある。
ダバオ市では年越しに「Torotot Festival」という祭りが行われ、観光客が押し寄せる。正確な統計がとられ、それをもとに市の発展が早まることを期待したい。
ダバオニュースの裏側へ！：
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
