Abstract

Tourism intelligence and big data can improve the strategic management of tourist destinations through analysis of the environment. This study aims to explain the flight searches from London and Manchester to the Costa Blanca using variables from big data sources: online hotel satisfaction levels, flight price, hotel price, and temperature. Data for three years (2019, 2020 and 2021) are analyzed and the results are compared. The results show that online hotel satisfaction levels heterogeneously explain flight searches during these years. Hotel price positively explains searches from London. Flight price only influenced searches in 2019. Temperature in outbound destinations is the variable that best explains flight searches. This study contributes to the literature on strategic management of tourist destinations by explaining the potential tourist demand in the early decision-making stages of a trip. We highlight that the explanatory variables do not behave consistently during the years analyzed.

利用旅游情报和大数据解释旅游目的地的航班搜索情况：西班牙布兰卡海岸的案例

旅游情报和大数据可通过分析环境改善旅游目的地的战略管理。本研究旨在利用大数据源中的变量：在线酒店满意度水平、航班价格、酒店价格和气温，解释从伦敦和曼彻斯特飞往白色海岸的航班搜索情况。对三年（2019 年、2020 年和 2021 年）的数据进行了分析，并对结果进行了比较。结果显示，在线酒店满意度可以异质性地解释这几年的航班搜索情况。酒店价格对来自伦敦的搜索有积极的解释作用。航班价格只影响 2019 年的搜索量。出境目的地的温度是最能解释航班搜索的变量。本研究通过解释旅行早期决策阶段的潜在游客需求，为旅游目的地战略管理方面的文献做出了贡献。我们强调，在所分析的年份中，解释变量的表现并不一致。
