Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tourism and its time series forecast are of high importance for regional and national economies all over the world. Their importance has become even more evident in a period when demand suffered an abrupt rupture due to SARS-CoV-2.
With the COVID-19 vaccination now in sight, the recovery of the tourism sector is expected. More than ever, accurate forecasting of tourism demand at all levels is of the utmost importance for investors, local and national political decision-makers to prepare the infrastructures, investments, and operator recruitment to receive tourists.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect contributions about analysis and forecasting tourism time series before, during, and after the pandemic period.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your valuable contributions in the main scope of the Forecasting journal and devoted to tourism forecasting. Global, national, and regional data analysis are welcomed, in addition to the sectorial tourism analysis (transportation, accommodation, domestic tourism, senior tourism, health tourism, scientific tourism, etc.). All forecasting methods devoted to tourism time series sectors are welcome. Contributions considering the COVID-19 pandemic period analysis and the recovery period for the tourism sector forecast, considering similar or different opening scenarios are in the scope of this Special Issue.
