• Abstract summary: ITF (Inter-Destination Tourism Flow) is commonly used for tourism management on tasks like the classification of destinations' roles and visitation pattern mining. It is difficult to understand how the volume of ITF is influenced by features of the multi-attraction system. We propose a graph-based hybrid deep learning model to predict the ITF.

• Abstract: Tourists often go to multiple tourism destinations in one trip. The volume of tourism flow between tourism destinations, also referred to as ITF (Inter-Destination Tourism Flow) in this paper, is commonly used for tourism management on tasks like the classification of destinations' roles and visitation pattern mining. However, the ITF is hard to get due to the limitation of data collection techniques and privacy issues. It is difficult to understand how the volume of ITF is influenced by features of the multi-attraction system. To address these challenges, we utilized multi-source datasets and proposed a graph-based hybrid deep learning model to predict the ITF. The model makes use of both the explicit features of individual tourism attractions and the implicit features of the interactions between multiple attractions. Experiments on ITF data extracted from crowdsourced tourists' travel notes about the city of Beijing verified the usefulness of the proposed model. Besides, we analyze how different features of tourism attractions influence the volume of ITF with explainable AI techniques. Results show that popularity, quality and distance are the main three influential factors. Other features like coordinates will also exert an influence in different ways. The predicted ITF data can be further used for various downstream tasks in tourism management. The research also deepens the understanding of tourists' visiting choice in a tourism system consisting of multiple attractions.

  Multi-types of behaviors (e.g., clicking, adding to cart, purchasing, etc.) widely exist in most real-world recommendation scenarios. The state-of-the-art multi-behavior models learn behavior dependencies indistinguishably with all historical interactions as input. We propose a novel Coarse-to-fine Knowledge-enhanced Multi-interest Learning framework to learn shared and behavior-specific interests for different behaviors.
