Resumen de Dynamic Mining of Consumer Demand via Online Hotel Reviews: A Hybrid Method
Weiping Yu, Fasheng Cui, Ping Wang, Xin Liao
This study aims to dynamically mine the demands of hotel consumers. A total of 378,270 online reviews in the cities of Beijing, Chengdu, and Guangzhou in China were crawled using Python.
Natural language processing (e.g., opinion mining and the BERT model) and an improved Kano model (containing One‑dimensional, Attractive, Indifferent, and Must‑be) were utilised to analyse online hotel reviews. The results indicate that the hotel attributes that consumers care about (e.g., Clean, Breakfast, and Front Desk) are dynamically fluctuating, and the attention and satisfaction of corresponding attributes will also change. This study classified consumer demand into eight types across cities and found that it changes over time. In addition, we also found that hotel attributes, satisfaction and attention, and consumer demands vary among different cities. Existing studies of capturing consumer demand are usually time‑consuming and static, and the results are subjective. This study compared and analysed the consumer demands of hotels in different cities via a dynamic perspective, and used hybrid methods to improve the granularity of the analysis, expanding the general applicability of the Kano model. Hotel managers can refer to the results of this article to allocate resources for improvement and create competitive hotel services.
