Abstract

Kampung Lali Gadget (KLG) experiences extreme fluctuations in visitor numbers, reaching 98% between peak and lowest months, which complicates operational planning. This study applies the Facebook Prophet model to forecast visitor numbers as a decision-support tool. The model is optimized by incorporating extra regressors such as national holidays, academic holidays, and local events, along with hyperparameter tuning using Grid Search and manual fine-tuning. The best model achieved a MAPE of 20.93% (good category). Forecast results indicate a peak of 1,940 visitors in January 2026 and a low of 36 visitors in April 2026. These findings support more effective planning of curriculum, resources, and facility management.
