Tourists Profiling by Interest Analysis
Traditional statistical methods struggle to uncover the underlying motivations behind tourist behavior and interest evolution within attraction networks. Method: We propose the first integrated analytical framework that jointly models semantic features (via LDA topic modeling of textual digital footprints) and structural features (via visit-sequence graph modeling), enhanced by graph neural networks (GNNs) and multi-source trajectory clustering. This enables interpretable tourist interest profiling and cross-city mobility mapping. Contribution/Results: Evaluated on real-world tourism datasets, our approach achieves a 23.6% improvement in interest cluster identification accuracy. It significantly advances understanding of how tourist preferences form and shift over time and space. By bridging semantic intent with spatiotemporal behavioral structure, the framework establishes a novel paradigm for intelligent tourism recommendation and collaborative destination management.
