Forecasting foreign tourist arrivals in India using time series models


Author(s): Shalini Chandra and Kriti Kumari

Abstract: This study aims to compare various time series models to forecast monthly foreign tourist arrivals to India. The models which are considered here include Naive I & Naive II, seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) and Grey models. The forecasting performance of these models has been compared under mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), U-statistic and turning point analysis (TPA) criteria. Empirical findings show that Naive I gives better forecast of foreign tourist arrivals to India relative to other time series models under MAPE and U-statistic criteria. In addition, SARIMA is found to be better model as compared to other models according to TPA criterion.
