  • Mention:

    Each news item, article, post or comment published on the internet is considered a mention. The algorithm used by SEGITTUR performs different types of internet searches to locate mentions relating to tourism in Spain. The classification of mentions in terms of age, gender or sentiment is based on estimates, and the data displayed in the dashboard are the direct result of the use of specialised algorithms that evaluate all the mentions found in each search. These results are analysed and interpreted in monthly reports.

The studies carried out and reports written in this section refer to tourism in Spain, taking into consideration publications and posts made in this country in Spanish, Catalan, Galician and Basque. The analysis focuses primarily on intention to travel, and on perceptions of safety and security. However, all search results obtained are taken into account, to highlight any other relevant tourism-related topic that might come up.

In the period August – November 2023, the report generation service has remained inactive.
