Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method to discover “memorable” travel destinations. Our hypothesis is that differences in the numbers of photographs posted to blogs for users indicate how memorable the travel destination remained to the user. We specifically examined the number of photographs posted to blogs for each user and each area. Our proposed method does not specifically examine the number of photographs simply for each place, but it examines user characteristics. We conducted experiments to demonstrate the ranking travel destinations in Japan and throughout the world using our proposed method. Results show that our method ranked not only the famous travel destinations highly but also unpopular travel destinations in terms of being memorable.
