The primary objective of this article is to investigate the intricate relationship between tourism and peace, aiming to either affirm or debunk this connection. The study focuses on two key variables: the proliferation of tourism-related establishments and incidents of adversity involving tourists. Notably, despite unfortunate occurrences affecting tourists in Butuan City, there has been a noteworthy surge in the establishment of tourism-related ventures. The research endeavors to shed light on whether this burgeoning tourism sector exerts a positive or negative influence on destinations like Butuan City. Utilizing secondary data sourced from various local government entities, including the Butuan City Tourism Office, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and the Philippine National Police (PNP), the study meticulously examines trends over a span of seven years from 2010 to 2017. By scrutinizing the growth trajectories of tourism enterprises juxtaposed with the incidence rates of tourism-related mishaps, this investigation seeks to unravel the dynamic interplay between tourism development and its impact on peace and security in the locale. Through rigorous analysis and interpretation of these datasets, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the implications of tourism growth on the overall well-being and tranquility of Butuan City and similar tourist destinations.
