Cover Story: The growing number of Online Travel Review (OTR) platforms and advancements in social media and search engine technologies have led to a new way for tourists to access information, placing projected Tourist Destination Image (TDI) and electronic Word of Mouth (eWoM) at the core of travel decision making. This research introduces a big data-driven approach to analyzing and measuring the perceived and conveyed TDI in OTRs concerning the reflected perceptive, spatial, and affective dimensions of search results. To test this approach, a large-scale metadata analysis was conducted on approximately 2700 reviews of the city of Kastoria, Greece, from TripAdvisor users for the category “Attractions”. Additionally, artificial intelligence was used to analyze the photos accompanying user comments on TripAdvisor. View this paper
