Abstract:
In recent years, tourism industry has been drawing attention in various countries. Tourists are on an increasing trend all over the world, and it is estimated that the value exceed 1.8 billion in 2030. Consumer behavior by tourists brings high economic effects to many industries such as transportation, lodging, manufacturing. Therefore the increase in tourists is an important issue for governments and tourism agency. According to a survey by tourism agency, 60% of foreign tourists visiting Japan are repeaters. In other words, it is considered important to increase repeaters to increase tourists. Compared with the first tourist, there is a need for repeaters to visit sightseeing spot that many residents visit and tourists do not know. One must analyze data of resident to discover these sightseeing spots. Nevertheless, most studies conducted to extract hotspots (areas where many photographs are taken) and recommend sightseeing routes using movement trajectories do not consider user attributes. Therefore, by considering user attributes, this study was conducted to extract hotspots that many residents visit but are not know to tourists. Additionally, we extract movement trajectories from residents and tourists to ascertain differences in sightseeing areas and to analyze them by visualizing those results on a map.
