This data plays an important role for destination marketers to distinguish their destination among others based on Twitter Statistics and key public opinion towards destination image attributes. London and New York were used as destination cities under the analysis of text mining with the concept linkage approach. Results shows five distinct keywords attributed to each city. Each keyword found to be relevant in representing the image of destination cities based on the public opinion on Twitter. For keyword "Culture and Cultural", term "British" and "Black" represent London and New York the best, respectively. In keyword "Entertainment", term "James Bond" and "Broadway" represent London and New York, respectively. In keyword "Festival", term "Lumiere" and "Global Citizen Festival" are best in describing city of London and New York, respectively. In keyword "Food", term "traditional British food" best describes London and "Food truck" best describes New York. The keyword "Shopping" exhibits term "Etsy" as the image of London and "Kate Spade" as the image for New York. This research reveals the value of social media analysis and the ability of text mining as an effective technique to extract opinions from vast amount of available social media data.

“…Selling history to tourists necessitates generalization and simplicity and a version of the past that harmonizes with the expectations of tourists (Palmer, 1999), since history can appear distorted and devalued. This in turn, may result in feedback that has an adverse effect on tourist flows if tourists are seeking authenticity (Hughes & Allen, 2005). Therefore, to improve cultural tourism in Nong Khai province, in particular, the Naga Fireball Festival, these research questions were raised: 1) what are international tourists' opinions and the international tourists' demand regarding the Naga Fireball Festival in Nong Khai province and 2) what guidelines would promote the value of the Naga Fireball Festival to international tourists in Nong Khai province.…”
