artistic impression – meaning initiative and creativity, and the readability and coherence of the report.

Tourism is an important source of revenue for the UK, but UK citizens also like to travel abroad.
Develop an appropriate methodology, gather relevant data, and make forecasts of monthly number
of tourists entering and leaving the UK, and the amount of money they spend, for the next 18
months.
