In this paper we outline a framework for forecasting using maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) based multiresoulution analysis (MRA). This framework has been applied for forecasting the tourism arrival series from Denmark to Norway. We compare forecasted values obtained from modeling the data in the time domain with the forecasted values from the wavelet domain using the traditional Box-Jenkins methodology. In both cases, diagnostic tests have been conducted to insure the specification of the model. The results have shown that the wavelet based forecasts outperforms the traditional Box-Jenkins approach in term of forecasts accuracy.
