ABSTRACT

This study investigates the UNESCO world heritage listing effects on visitor’s number and seasonal preference by using the frequency of Google Panoramio geotagged photo collections and its registered time information in China with GIS. The result shows that world heritage listing doesn’t significantly affect the number of tourists. However, there are significant differences in the number of geotagged photo collections between different seasons from monthly perspective and different locations of the world heritage sites. Considering the UNESCO World Heritage is one of the important tourism attraction resource in China, these results may depict the tendency of Chinese tourist’s migration and it would be possible to use geotagged photo collections as an indirect index for tourism migration trend analysis.
