A Way to Internet Collect Data, 'Related to a Specific Subject'. The Special Case: For Albanian Agritourism Users Data
Authors: ,
Abstract: In this paper, we will present the way to collect the data related to agrotourism destinations (AGT) in Albania. In the last years, there has been an increase in their number. AGT in our country continuously uses various social media platforms, such as Facebook, Booking, Instagram, etc. there is a lot of data that is not centred, and often contradictory or even incorrect, and very scattered about these websites. This makes it difficult for interest groups (tourists, suppliers, etc.) to easily find information on different AGTs in Albania. What these AGT destinations have in common is that they put their location on Google Maps along with other details, such as business name, their website if they have one, booking methods, contact numbers, etc. Other real data such as the star ratings of visitors and their comments or other information are created and enriched over time. In this paper, we aim to have this information grouped and systematized in such a way that we can analyze and study them. Through this paper, we offer a solution by developing algorithms and scripts that will make it possible to collect and systematize data in a single database and systematically analyze such distributed data for Agrotourism in Albania.
