Problem and Motivation

Related Works

The team has looked into some visualisations that was created on the Singapore’s tourism sectors, which gave us ideas on the factors or areas that the team can also looked into. The visualisations also provided us with an understanding of the tourism industry over the years and the different visualisation techniques.

Knoema

Knoema provides access to a large number of databases and visualisations tools for those databases to the public. From the visualisation of Singapore’s tourism from Knoema, the team has identified some factors which can be looked into such as the Government’s spending on tourism. However the team finds that the visualisations could be done better if it can present how the various factors are correlated, as currently the various factors are independent. Hence, the team will be taking this into consideration when designing our visualisations.

Public Tableau

The Tableau visualisation looks at the Singapore’s tourism industry from various aspects up to year 2013. Unlike the visualisations from Knoema, the Tableua visualisation further looks into the happenings in Singapore such as the opening of RWS which is closely related to the tourism industry and also the revenue and occupancy of the hotel industry which could be affected by the number of tourists. It also supported the observed trends with reasons which explains the drop or increase in tourist arrivals, which provided us with an overview of the tourism industry between 2009 to 2013. With this, our team has also identified areas which we can look into such as the hotel industry which is closely related to tourism.

ISSS608 Visual Analytics and Applications

While researching, the team realised that a SMU team from ISSS608 has also worked on Singapore’s tourism industry for their project. Thus, the team has looked into the visualisation techniques that was used and the factors and areas that they have considered for their project. The ISSS608 team has visualised the visitors’ data using a sunburst diagram which allows for further drilling down by continent, by country and by mode of transport which we find that it is an interesting way of visualising the data. Furthermore, the references provided has also provided us with more sources for data.
