In Japan, many local governments are currently investing more effort into promoting inbound tourism. Many studies have been conducted to examine destination image in Japan. However, few studies investigate the differences in point of view between Japanese tourists and foreign tourists toward particular tourist attractions. Depending upon the tourist's country of origin, there are variances in preferences or impressions of such locations. In addition, tourism promoters have their own ideas about which tourist attractions they want to recommend in their cities or towns. This study investigates the differences in destination image of a particular tourist attraction held by Japanese tourists and foreign tourists using a data mining approach toward analyzing the text data from reviews posted on TripAdvisor. Moreover, the information in the official sightseeing websites was analyzed using text mining with respect to Japanese and English text data in order to compare the results of Japanese and foreign tourists' destination images of a particular tourist attraction. It was found that different destination images arose from one tourist attraction between Japanese and English texts. In addition, there were some sightseeing events that were not in the destination images of tourists , which can consider to be a recommendation by local promoters.

“…In the case of the Curonian Spit, tidy and well-kept Scots pine plantations are the most obvious example of dedicated human care for the landscape [88]. The visitors of the national park regularly mention the sense of order, the sense of care, and the upkeep as essential items determining landscape preference [18]. On the spit, large monocultural forest plantations indicate a lower level of naturalness than small forest patches in the mobile dunes.…”

“…However, there is no clear understanding or consensus of what this means. Many locals relate the UNESCO status to the beauty of the local nature and to keeping the Curonian Spit, as a seaside resort, tidy and clean [18].…”

“…However, a mixed approach to the psychophysical interpretation of aesthetic appeal combining both quantitative (paired comparison survey) and qualitative methods (semi-structured interviews and the Delphi technique) can deliver results that contribute substantially to the development of a comprehensive methodology for the aesthetic appraisal of coastal landscapes as tourist destinations. The rationale for employing the mixed approach for interdisciplinary coastal management studies is explained in-depth in our previous study [18]. This innovative approach advances research in scenic aesthetics perception and appraisal and is the first study of this kind worldwide ( Figure 3).…”

“…This challenge is difficult yet necessary to meet [17]. It is difficult because, very often, matching the ecosystem services, the conservation regulations, and the landscape perceptions by the visitors can be problematic [18]. It is necessary because recreation demands must be balanced with conservation needs for natural resources and ecosystem services [19].…”

The main objective of the study was to elicit key concepts determining the aesthetic appeal of coastal dunes and forests using the example of the Curonian Spit (Lithuania). The mixed approach included three methods: (1) paired comparison survey of 45 coastal landscapes, (2) semi-structured interviews with local inhabitants, and (3) eliciting the key aesthetic appeal concepts by a panel of experts using the Delphi technique. The results of the paired comparison survey show that the most aesthetically appealing landscapes of the Curonian Spit are: (1) white mobile dunes, (2) white dunes with grey (grassland) dunes in the background, and (3) grey dunes with white dunes in the background. The local inhabitants considered the concept of visual coherence as the best, explaining the aesthetic appeal of the dune and the forest landscapes on the spit. The experts of the Delphi survey considered that the concepts of stewardship, naturalness, imageability, and visual scale best define the scenic appeal. The appeal of the least attractive landscapes, in their opinion, was shaped by the concepts of naturalness, disturbance, and complexity. We conclude that the notions of visitors, local inhabitants and experts differ on the aesthetic appeal concepts of coastal dunes and forests, suggesting potential management conflicts.

This study analyses the experiences of visitors to cultural tourism resources in the municipality of Malaga (Spain) through sentiment analysis. The online reviews shared by visitors on TripAdvisor and other platforms are relevant to know the valuation of users, being an influencing factor in decision-making by other users. The aim of this research work is to shed light on the online reputation of the cultural heritage of the city of Málaga through reviews on social networks or TripAdvisor opinion web platforms. The basis of the study were the reviews issued by TripAdvisor users, expressing the satisfaction and emotions experienced in the experiences at the destination, focusing interest on museum exhibitions, and highlighting the architectural spaces that complement the visit. Likewise, our results highlight that the emotions and feelings experienced are mostly positive in visits to heritage monuments, highlighting the historical value and the synergy with green areas as an ideal complement that make up the urban landscape of the city of Malaga. The findings of this study will not only contribute to the existing literature on consumer behaviour towards online reviews but may also provide valuable information for organisations involved in the cultural tourism sector.
