Sentiment analytics for travel companies


Hello readers,



This holiday season, see what the people are saying about the popular travel companies.
The firms under consideration are:

Kayak - @KAYAK
Orbitz - @Orbitz
Expedia - @Expedia
Hipmunk - @thehipmunk
Priceline.com - @priceline
TripIt! - @TripIt
Booking.com - @bookingcom
Hotels.com - @hotelsdotcom
SeatGuru - @SeatGuru
SeatExpert - @SeatExpert
TripAdvisor - @TripAdvisor

Check my other posts for approach and R packages used.

Here are the results:



Travel very.pos.count  very.neg.count  very.tot score
SeatGuru 5 0      5 100
Hotels.com 721 6    727 99
TripIt! 56 2      58 97
Orbitz 110 10    120 92
Hipmunk 10 1      11 91
Kayak 133 34     167 80
Priceline.com 83 32    115 72
Booking.com 73 43    116 63
TripAdvisor 73 43    116 63
Expedia 16 23       39 41
SeatExpert 0 0        0 NaN



SeatGuru and SeatExpert are websites that help in travel planning, so technically they qualify as travel companies. The low tweet count makes their position meaningless though.

I was surprised by the high number of positive tweets about Hotels.com.
They are managing the social presence very well.
