Abstract
Currently, social networks, where people can express their opinion through content and comments, are fast developing and affect various areas of daily life; Particularly, some research on YouTube travel channels found that almost tourists and audiences leave comments about their attitudes to that place. Thus, mining the emotional recognition of comments through artificial intelligence can bring knowledge about the tourists’ general view. This article analyzes the relationship(s) between social media use and its effect on community-based tourism in Thailand using the Social Media Sensing framework (S-Sense) as sentiment analysis and the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) methods to analyze the text comments. This research collected 51,280 comments on 114 Youtube Videos, which are tourist attractions in various provinces in Thailand. The approach categorizes attractions based on sentiment analysis of 60% or more, including restaurants, markets, historical sites, temples, or natural attractions. The results show that 67.51% of the 19,391 clean-processed comments were satisfied with those attraction places. Therefore S-Sense and BiLSTM models can be sufficient to analyze the attitude of comments about attraction places with from 43 to remain 33 keywords of 1,603 comments. Furthermore, the offered sentiment analysis method has higher precision, recall, and F1 scores.
