Details	Innovative sentiment mining of easily available and usually cheap databases can yield surprising insights into the thinking of consumers for the Tourism and Hospitality industry. We have outlined specific benefits from real-time monitoring of events as well as the potential for heightened industry and brand awareness through the monitoring of social media, and how industry and Governments can make use of this knowledge advantage. The utilization of these techniques and knowledge resources will lead to lower costs of data gathering and research, better differentiation in the spread of information gained, more effective operational methods to capture ‘word of mouth’ information and sentiment, and more powerful business analytics applications.
