Abstract
Mapping for Customer Needs in Iconic Events Around the World
Have you ever thought about maps when planning a trip to attend a well-known international event? Maps are a powerful and impactful way of communicating relevant information in an easy language to broader audiences. The Location Intelligence Team in Booking.com has developed an iterative, adaptable and scalable approach to analyse vibes and facilities around key events worldwide, to help deliver a seamless online experience that makes it easier for everyone to explore the world. Using geospatial analysis and the power of location intelligence, we are able to provide travellers with relevant and timely information about, e.g. transportation, accessibility, food & dining, arts & culture options around the most iconic sport and cultural events. The presentation will provide an overview of the process and methodology used to deliver the final output, walking the audience through the data processing, spatial analysis steps and finalising with map creation. I will also share a series of animated maps, showing the data analysis approach and the results for various events around the world.
