Possibilities of Socializing Tourism

-Focusing on reviews from tourists visiting the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum-

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to empirically clarify the actual situation in which tourists contribute to peace. The changing international situation after the pandemic calls for the need to redefine and socialize tourism, but the specific measures to do so have not been made clear. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to elucidate the actual situation in which tourists contribute to peace by conducting quantitative text analysis based on reviews posted on travel review sites. This study suggests the following three characteristics of tourists who contribute to peace: a tourism experience that induces self-reflection, an intention to recommend others, and changes in co-occurrence patterns depending on the international situation.
