【#PolyUResearch 📈】The tourism industry gradually recovers as the epidemic stabilises. The Development of an Automated and Self-Adaptive Tourism Demand Forecasting Platform for the Greater Bay Area (GBA-TDFP) was recently launched by the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (@PolyUSHTM) of PolyU. Total international visitor arrivals to the Greater Bay Area are forecasted to recover to the pre-pandemic level at close to 130 million by the end of 2024, and the total number of inbound visitor arrivals to Hong Kong to recover to the 2018 level of 65 million by 2025.

Developed by the research team led by Prof. Haiyan SONG, Principal Investigator and SHTM Associate Dean, Chair Professor, and Mr and Mrs Chan Chak Fu Professor in International Tourism, GBA-TDFP features key functions that include big data visualisation, market sensitivity analysis, short-, medium- and long-term forecasting, sentiment analysis, and interactive scenario forecasting. It offers innovative insights and valuable guidance for both industry professionals and academics, effectively transforming vast amounts of data into actionable information, and enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions and maximise the value derived from it.
