PolyU extends partnership with PATA for Asia Pacific Visitor Forecasts

PolyU has extended its partnership with the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) for another three years (2024–2027) to continue the publication of the Asia Pacific Visitor Forecasts reports. Under the partnership, the Research Centre for Digital Transformation of Tourism (RCDTT) will collaborate with PATA on a project titled “Further Development of the Tourism Demand Forecasting for Asia Pacific Region (Phase 4)”.

The project aims to leverage advanced statistical forecasting techniques, scenario analyses, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and stakeholder insights to produce comprehensive Asia Pacific Visitor Forecasts reports. These reports cover inbound visitors, tourism receipts and departures, providing tourism professionals, businesses and destinations with crucial insights for policymaking, strategic planning and operational management, thus enabling them to navigate evolving demand patterns and make informed decisions in the face of current and future global challenges.
