Abstract

The development of online review platforms provides opportunities to explore information regarding tourists’ perceptions of tourism destinations. This study aims to identify the main attractions of Benteng Rotterdam based on tourist reviews using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling method. The research data were obtained from TripAdvisor through a web scraping technique using Selenium and BeautifulSoup libraries. Data scraping was performed in December 2023, resulting in the collection of 679 reviews written in Indonesian. The collected reviews were then subjected to a series of preprocessing steps, namely cleaning, tokenization, stemming, and stopword removal. Topic modeling was conducted using the Gensim library in the Python programming language, while the optimal number of topics was determined using the coherence score. Visualization using word clouds and intertopic distance maps was applied to assist in interpreting the relationships among topics. The results show that the LDA model successfully generated six topics which, based on the interpretation of dominant keywords and visualization results, can be identified as the main tourist attractions of Benteng Rotterdam, including the historical value of the building, building atmosphere and condition, strategic location, social and cultural experiences, and affordable entrance fees. The findings of this study can serve as input for tourism managers in developing promotional strategies and improving tourism services based on visitor reviews.
