Abstract: In this study, we propose an automated system to classify traveller ratings on travel destinations in ten categories across East Asia using the UCI travel reviews dataset. The automated system developed in this study is called traveller rating classification system (TRCS). Since the travel reviews dataset is an unlabelled dataset, K-means clustering algorithm is used to group the samples from the dataset into three clusters. The cluster numbers obtained from K-means clustering are assigned as class labels for the samples and the dataset is converted into a labelled dataset. Popular individual classifiers and ensemble classifiers are used to classify the samples present in the labelled dataset. In this study, bagging with decision tree classifier achieved the best classification accuracy of 97.95%. The study further analyses the attributes in the dataset using visualisation techniques to draw inferences by performing small transformations on them. The proposed system will be useful to understand traveller satisfaction and as a tourist spot recommendation system.
