According to the analysis from the number of tourists who went to Lanzhou during 2009–2019, the ARIMA model of the number of tourists to Lanzhou was established. The results show that the AR(3) model is used to predict the number of tourists who traveled to Lanzhou during 2009–2019. The average relative error between the predicted value and the actual value is 1.03%, which can be used to predict and analyze the number of tourists in Lanzhou in the future.

To ensure a sustainable and stable development of tourism, scientific methods must be used to manage, analyze, and predict the rules of the tourism market, which has far-reaching significance to the sustainable development of China’s tourism industry. Therefore, this paper takes Baolan high-speed railway as an example and uses ARIMA model to compare the passenger flow data and forecast results from 2009 to 2019 to verify the accuracy of the model. By forecasting the passenger flow to Lanzhou in 2020, it can provide reference for the tourism planning and the layout of tourism resources in Lanzhou.</p></sec><sec id="j_amns.2020.1.00006_s_002_w2aab3b7d306b1b6b1ab1b1Aa"><label>2</label><div>The research status of using ARIMA model to predict passenger volume</div><p>The opening of high-speed rail has promoted the economic growth of cities along the periphery, but it also brought challenges to developmental opportunities. The surge in the number of people will naturally lead to fullness of the scenic spots and the increase of accommodation and accommodation pressures, especially the problems of hotel accommodation and transportation, which have brought severe challenges to the local tourist reception capacity. How to predict passenger traffic and enhance local hardware and software facilities and increase the carrying capacity according to passenger traffic has become an urgent problem to be solved.</p><p>According to the relevant literature, Li Wei [<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_amns.2020.1.00006_ref_001_w2aab3b7d306b1b6b1ab2b1b1Aa">1</a>] believes that for the ARIMA model and the BP neural network model of predictable tourist numbers, the simulation prediction of the ARIMA model is better overall, while the BP neural network model is relatively less.

Therefore, according to the traditional regression analysis method, the ARIMA model has better precision. It can be seen that in the process of prediction, many researches do not involve the unit root test and white noise residual test, which leads to low reliability [<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_amns.2020.1.00006_ref_004_w2aab3b7d306b1b6b1ab2b1b4Aa">4</a>].
