Enhancing Tourism Digital Content Engagement through Sentiment and Toxicity Analysis: Application of Perspective, Vader, and TextBlob Models
Abstract
This research examines the engagement with tourism digital content for Sumba Island through sentiment and toxicity analysis. The study uses advanced models such as Perspective, Vader, and TextBlob to reveal an average toxicity score of 0.04066, indicating minimal harmful language. Sentiment classification shows a predominantly positive reception, with VADER identifying 81.69% positive, 12.96% neutral, and 5.35% negative sentiments. TextBlob analysis supports these findings, confirming the robustness of the sentiment evaluation. The research underscores the effectiveness of well-crafted digital content in promoting positive user engagement while maintaining low toxicity. The urgency of this research is emphasized by the increasing reliance on digital platforms for tourism marketing, where understanding audience perception is crucial for effective strategy development. The study employs the Digital Content Reviews and Analysis Framework, which ensures systematic data processing and comprehensive evaluation. This framework includes data cleansing, sentiment, toxicity scoring, and rigorous evaluation using multiple analytical models to enhance the reliability and applicability of the findings. Future recommendations include expanding the analysis to encompass visual content and non-English comments and incorporating advanced multimodal techniques to capture a holistic view of digital content engagement. Addressing these areas will further enrich the understanding and impact of tourism digital content, driving more effective and engaging marketing strategies in the competitive digital landscape.
