Tourist Quotas

This puzzle is a combination of Fillomino and Simple Loop. I believe it will be difficult at first, but getting familiar with the rules can help a lot. Thank you for playing!
-
Fillomino: Divide the grid into regions. Every cell is part of a region, and regions of the same size cannot touch orthogonally. Given numbers must be inside a region of that size.
-
Simple Loop: Construct a single loop that moves orthogonally through the centers of cells and visits every cell in the grid exactly once. It cannot branch or intersect itself.
-
Closed Borders: Each thick edge is a Closed Border. The Simple Loop cannot intersect a Closed Border, and a single Fillomino Region cannot take both of the cells adjacent to a Closed Border.
Negative Constraint: ALL Closed Borders are given.
-
Tourist Quotas: The Simple Loop crosses each Fillomino region's borders a number of times equal to that Fillomino region's size.
