A visitor is referring to someone who makes a visit to a main destination outside their usual environment for less than a year for any main purpose which including holidays, leisure and recreation, business, health, education or other purposes. Malaysia has many public holidays that causes number of tourist arrivals to Malaysia constantly changing every year.

By comparing the value of Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), the findings of this study suggest that besides Box Jenkins, Holt-Winters model also suitable to be used in forecasting tourist arrivals. Hence, the Holt-Winters model are the appropriate model to forecast the tourist arrivals from United Kingdom (UK) and Korea. While, the SARIMA (1,1,1)(1,1,1)12 is the appropriate model for forecasting tourist arrivals from Singapore. Therefore, Holt-Winters and Box Jenkins model are suitable used to forecast and determine the future trend of tourist arrivals.
