Read the Passage below and Answer the Question That Follow Based on Understanding of the Passage. Answer the Questions (71 ā 75)
Tourism demand forecasts are traditionally generated by either quantitative or qualitative approaches. According to a comprehensive reveal by Li et al (2005) , 420 studies on the topic of tourism demand forecasting were published during the period 1960 ā 2002.
Most attention was directed at the development of advanced statistical forecasting methods including both time series and econometric approaches. Time series methods use past patterns in data to extrapolate future values and whilst time series approaches are useful tools for tourism demand forecasting, a major limitation of these methods is that they cannot be used for policy evaluation purposes. By contrast, econometric models, which estimate the quantitative relationship between tourism demand and its determinants, can be used for policy evaluation. The large body of literature that has been published on tourism demand forecasting using modern econometric technique is reviewed by Li et al (2005) .
