Room registrations in the Toronto Towers Plaza Hotel have been recorded for the past 9 years. To project future occupancy, management would like to determine the mathematical trend of guest registration. This estimate will help the hotel determine whether the future expansion will be needed. Given the following time-series data, develop a regression equation relating registrations to time (e.g., a trend equation). Then forecast year 11 registrations. Room registrations are in the thousands:   Sr. No Year Registration (000) 1 2011 17 2 2012 16 3 2013 16 4 2014 21 5 2015 20 6 2016 20 7 2017 23 8 2018 25 9 2019 24

Forecasting in Business

Forecasting is the process of predicting the future based on the past and the present data and circumstances. In other words, forecasting is the act of making a detailed analysis of future events based on the decisions made in the past as well as the present. Forecasting plays a very important role in operational management as it helps in planning and decision-making. It is not only important for the success of a business but also contributes to individual growth and success. Many business organizations or companies have failed due to the shortcomings of their forecasting.
