Hospitality Industry Sentiment Analysis
Why Is Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis Important In The Hospitality Industry?
Customer interactions are the core of the hospitality industry, and thereby, customer experience is of the highest importance in the sector. Star ratings don’t tell the complete picture because while some customers may give a 4-star rating for a modest experience, others may be quite finicky and give a 2-star rating just because they were dissatisfied with one aspect of a hotel’s service, which in their mind superseded everything else.
Only an in-depth analysis of customer comments and feedback through sentiment mining can lay bare the details of what an establishment in the hospitality industry can do to enhance their customer experience index and so, their popularity and profitability. This is achieved by aspect-based sentiment analysis.

With more and more user-generated reviews and videos on Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other social channels, as well as review forums, the customer felt an urgent need to overhaul their legacy system. They wanted to improve their workflow, and easily manage the reputation data that comprised millions of reviews.
