Abstract—By means of mobile apps travellers are able to share their experiences during trips. Thus, lots of travel blogs arise with different reports that contain lots of information about a travel destination. This information is of interest for other travellers and for travel destinations. Travel report posted in New Zealand are used to analyse the behaviour of travellers. The analysis is carried out by means of NoSQL technologies. Because the analysed travel reports are assigned to a degree of longitude and latitude, a representation of all travel reports on a map of New Zealand can be derived, which allows to analyse the geographical distribution of the travel reports across the country. In addition, a text search for words which describe places of interest is combined with the visualization of travel reports. The application of this approach to travel reports about New Zealand allows to assign summarized travel reports to national parks and movie locations.
