FORECASTING NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL TOURIST ARRIVALS USING MULTI INPUT INTERVENTION ARIMA MODEL by Hidayatul Khusna, Muhammad Mashuri, Muhammad Ahsan, Wibawati Wibawati, Diaz Fitra Aksioma, Novri Suhermi

“…Based on the results, it was found that the number of international tourist arrivals entering Soekarno-Hatta airport can be modelled using SARIMA (0,1,1)(0,1,0)12 with (b=2, s=1, r=0) and (b=2, s=[3], r=0) for first and second input of intervention variable, respectively. Furthermore, the number of international tourist visits through Ngurah-Rai airport was more appropriate to be modelled using SARIMA (1,1,1)(0,1,1)12 with intervention inputs (b=1, s=[2], r=0) and (b=4, s=0, r=1). …”
