Explanation

The sentence requires a definite article before 'region' to specify which region is being discussed. 'In this region' should be 'In this the region' or more naturally 'In this region' where 'this' already specifies, but the standard form would include 'the region' or add 'the' before 'region' when referring to a specific area.
