In this paper, we use the metadata of the spatial footprints obtained from Flickr of the geographical region of Havana to find the Regions Interest within the city. We conduct a spatiotemporal analysis of the changes in the Regions of Interest visited by Americans tourists in order to understand the impact of Obama's visit to Havana. This analysis is guided by the following research question: Given the political changes, are there changes in tourism? HDBSCAN and a-shape algorithms are used to obtain the Regions of Interest. Our results show that there exists a connection between the political event and changes in the tourism dynamics in the period of Obama's visit to Cuba. Furthermore, our analyses show that the regions where the American tourists have more activity are the ROIs near the Havana port, which is consistent with the major event in the area being the entrance of the cruises in the country. |
