This paper proposes a novel analytical framework to investigate the tourist sentiment changes between different attractions based on geotagged social media data. Our framework mainly focuses on visualizing the detailed sentiment changes of tourists and exploring the valuable spatiotemporal pattern of the sentiment changes in tourist flow. The tourists were first identified from social media users. Then, we accurately evaluated the tourist sentiment by constructing a Chinese sentiment dictionary, grammatical rule, and sentiment score. Based on the location information of social media data, we built and visualized the tourist flow network. Last, to further reveal the impact of attractions on the sentiment of tourist flow, the positive and negative sentiment profiles were generated by mining social media texts. We took Beijing, a famous tourist destination in China, as a case study. Our results revealed the following: (1) the temporal trend of tourist sentiment has seasonal characteristics and is significantly influenced by government control policies against COVID-19; (2) due to the impact of the attraction\u2019s historical background, some tourist flows with highly decreased sentiment strength are linked to attractions; (3) on the long journey to the attraction, the sentiment strength of tourists decreases; and (4) bad traffic conditions can significantly decrease tourist sentiment. This study highlights the methodological implications of visualizing sentiment changes during collective tourist movement and provides comprehensive insight into the spatiotemporal pattern of tourist sentiment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi10030135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]],"date-time":"2021-03-03T20:29:48Z","timestamp":1614803388000},"page":"135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Using Geotagged Social Media Data to Explore Sentiment Changes in Tourist Flow: A Spatiotemporal Analytical Framework"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241003, China"},{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Resource Environment and GIS, Anhui Province, Wuhu 241003, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Virtual Geographic Environment, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Zhengan","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241003, China"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241003, China"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Virtual Geographic Environment, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqing","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Virtual Geographic Environment, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241003, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"334","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tourman.2019.04.011","article-title":"Impact of crisis events on Chinese outbound tourist flow: A framework for post-events growth","volume":"74","author":"Jin","year":"2019","journal-title":"Tour.
