Major reports of tourism forecasting studies are classified by forecasting method employed, reviewed, compared, and critiqued.

Summary statements on the relative usefulness of the different methods in specific forecasting situa tions are provided. Some conclusions are drawn to aid future conduct and reporting of tourism forecasting reports.Keywords
