“…In the current study, village sanitation ranked the highest (4.56), and the type of service facility score was 4.39; this indicates that village sanitation and service facility provision were perceived to have significantly improved after tourism development, which is consistent with Shen and, Pramanik and Ingkadijaya [33,61]. However, some researchers have also examined traditional village service facilities and environmental sanitation indicators from the perspective of tourists, and the scores were low [58], which illustrates discrepancies in the perceptions of villagers and tourists. The score for harmony between additional service facilities and the village environment was 4.10, indicating that the appearance and style of the newly added service facilities during the process of tourism development had a good degree of coherence with the village's original characteristics.…”

“…Chen et al found that tourists preferred natural landscapes above other landscapes [56,57]. Shen et al observed that tourists' evaluation of natural landscape elements in traditional villages was generally high and these were most important to them, demonstrating how essential natural landscapes are to tourism [58]. This underscores the significance of natural landscapes in tourism, emphasizing the need for continued and effective preservation of natural landscapes during the tourism development process.…”

As spending on measures to protect the quality of the visual landscape of traditional villages has increased, it is important to better understand tourism development's impact on how visual landscapes are perceived by residents of these traditional villages. Using Huangdu Dong Village as a case study, this study examined tourism development's impact on visual landscape perception from residents' perspective. A questionnaire was designed that focused on three landscape dimensions-natural, cultural, and tourism and facilities landscapes; 152 questionnaires were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed that the impact of tourism development on the natural landscape was not significant, but it exerted a more pronounced influence on village topography. It significantly improved the tourism and facilities landscape. Additionally, tourism development's impact on perceived visual landscape differed according to demographic characteristics; for example, respondents aged 18-30 had perceived less change of some visual landscape elements than older respondents, and respondents who had lived in the village for 21-30 years asserted that tourism development had impacted the animal diversity more than other groups. Based on the results, recommendations were made for local governments, policymakers, and residents.

“…The data collection content includes user nicknames, travelogue text, posting time, and other related information. From the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 March 2023, a total of 1113 original travelogues were obtained [52,53]. To extract data about travel in Sanya, the collected content was manually screened according to the following criteria [52]: (1) eliminate travelogues that only have pictures or videos; (2) eliminate duplicates and advertising and marketing types of travelogues; and (3) retain travelogues that only involve records of travel in Sanya.…”

Urban tourism imagery is an essential factor affecting the competitiveness of cities. However, most existing studies use small data methods such as interviews and questionnaires to explore tourists’ perceptions of cities without combining big data for analysis. In addition, there is relatively little research on the tourism imagery of coastal cities. Therefore, this study analyzes the data from 523 travelogues from a three-dimensional perspective of identity, structure, and meaning, using methods such as BERTopic, aiming to explore the tourism imagery of coastal cities perceived by tourists. The results show the following: (1) In terms of identity, Sanya’s urban tourism imagery has the attribute of “external explicit-internal implicit”, which satisfies tourists’ visual and spiritual experiences. (2) Regarding structure, Sanya has a clear regional division of imagery and a core–edge diffusion distribution among regions. (3) Regarding meaning, tourists’ attitudes toward Sanya are polarized. Positive emotions predominate in the overall perception of meaning, but 25% of the negative emotions require urgent attention. This study provides a reference for the sustainable development of tourism cities and the marketing management of destinations.
