It seems that a traveler is not counted as a "tourist" unless he books himself in a hotel, pension house, or any other accommodation facility, per DOT data source. That is why Bohol, which has less than 3000 hotel rooms, looks like a poor second to Cebu in the tourism statistics. In my last trip to Tagbilaran, when my family and I took the first morning trip from Cebu, there were many tourists who were planning to make a daytime round of Bohol and take the last trip back to Cebu that same day. By all accounts, they were as much a tourist as those who stayed overnight in one of Bohol's accommodation facilities.
