Abstract
This paper aims to identify the most influencing factors of Beijing's inbound tourism demand using the autoregressive distributed lag model (ADLM) and then generates forecasts of international tourist arrivals from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada for the period of 2010Q3–2015Q4. The general-to-specific modeling approach was adopted to achieve final models while the exponential smoothing method was used to produce forecasts for independent variables. Results show that factors such as “word of mouth” effect, income level of the origin source markets, the costs of tourism in Beijing, and the cost of tourism in the competing destinations are crucial determinants of the tourism flows from three long-haul international markets. A group of error measures, such as the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square percentage error (RMSPE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and Theil's U statistic, were used to evaluate the forecasting accuracy. The results suggest that all three models have good forecasting abilities with the MAPEs ranging from 5.73% to 14.89%. Implications are discussed and recommendations as well as future research directions are provided.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
