Innovatively, this study adopted two deep learning models, namely scene recognition and semantic segmentation for uncovering the presence of tourist photos in a tourism destination. In all, 36497 photos shared by oversea tourists in Beijing were screened out by data mining and taken for visual content analysis. By developing two types of categories, the perceived destination attractions by tourists were analyzed. Theoretically, this study contributes to the establishment of a smart approach for understanding tourist preference through big pictorial data.}, number={2}, journal={e-Review of Tourism Research}, author={Zhang, Kun and Li, Qinghui and Wang, Hongyu and Chen, Dongzhi}, year={2019}, month={Dec.} }
