Abstract

This paper compares the neural network model, the autoregressive integrated moving average model, the basic structural model and the naïve model in forecasting tourist arrivals to Japan from Australia, Korea and USA. Univariate forecasts are made for total tourism flows to Japan. The criterion for comparison of the models is forecasting accuracy during an out of sample period of 36 months. The multilayer perceptron neural network model using a connectionist network outperformed other forecasting models in most cases and was consistent in short, medium and long term forecasting.
