Abstract:
Today, with the advancement of the Internet and transportation, we can readily travel around the world using diverse modes of travel. On those journeys, many people use various mobile devices to obtain the latest tourist information from the Internet. However, most of the information focuses on popular tourist attractions and leads to crowds flocking there. Unlike existing studies, which concentrate on analyzing popular tourist attractions, we attempt to disperse crowds from popular tourist attractions and provide more spots for travelers to choose by analyzing rarely known tourist attractions. For this study, we propose a formula for ranking tourist attractions by analyzing geo-tagged photographs on Flickr. The results of our questionnaire survey successfully revealed tourist locations that were unfamiliar to majority of respondents but which were attractive to them.
