Title Seminar: New Data Sources for Tourism Research
Description Especially in tourism, there is very few officially available data due to the fragmented customer value chains. Platforms like booking.com or Airbnb.com, however, gather a lot of valuable data which is available via an application programming interface (API).
In this seminar, students learn how to connect to such data bases via API and analyse such data to answer empirical economic research questions related to tourism. Students write a seminar paper on one of the provided topics (or choose an own topic) and present it in the final session.
