Resumo(s)
This study addresses the methodological gap in tourism research
regarding the long-term monitoring of tourism activities in urban
settings. We propose an analytical framework that uses data from
location-based social networks (LBSN) to derive tourists’ digital
footprints resulting in a sustained, yet partial, overview of tourist
activity and mobility in urban destinations. Significantly, we found that
LBSN data might signal changes in the geography of city tourism over
time. This study pioneers the use of LBSN data to gain knowledge
about city tourism in the longer run, thereby providing a means to
review the development of tourism cities. The proposed framework
abstracts the geographic dimension of tourism cities and extends
spatial analysis to the study of tourism destinations. Moreover, the
materials and methods used can be reproduced in other case studies,
offering spatial measurements for comparative study, and potentially
informing urban planning and design in tourism destinations.
