Abstract:

Based on the text analysis method, we used word frequency analysis and semantic network to analyze the online comments of six 5A desert scenic spots. The results show that: (1) Desert tourism is developing towards mass tourism, which can be divided into three stages: sightseeing scenic spot stage, transitional scenic spot stage and comprehensive scenic spot stage; (2) The core attraction is natural resources, mainly in the "sand + water" mode, with obvious differences in tourist perception; (3) The way of travel tends to be parent-child travel and self-help travel. Children's travel experience is the key to parent-child travel. Online strategy is an important channel for self-help tourists to obtain information. The itinerary planning tends to the combination of destination scenic spots. Scenic spot efficiency, fees, service attitude, number of tourists and infrastructure are important factors affecting the tourism experience. In view of desert tourism, this paper puts forward some suggestions on rational development of desert resources: paying attention to coordinated development among scenic spots, comprehensively developing scenic spot functions, improving scenic spot infrastructure and improving scenic spot service quality.
