The Tourism Forecasting Special Interest Group (SIG), sponsored by The Hong Kong Tourism Demand Forecasting System (HKTDFS), was launched on November 26. This SIG is maintained by Haiyan Song, the Chair Professor of Tourism and Associate Director of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This is believed to be the first such SIG that builds a useful platform for industry executives, forecasting practitioners, and researchers concerned with tourism forecasting. It offers a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts and methods of tourism demand forecasting. In addition, the tourism forecasting SIG website also contains a large number of recent tourism forecasting publications including books, conference papers, journal articles, reports for practitioners, and working papers related to tourism forecasting. The site is linked to a number of official datasets and computer software sources, which are useful for tourism forecasting practitioners and researchers.
