Abstract

Gastronomy is a strategic element in developing tourism destinations, and Ubud occupies a position as a cultural center that offers culinary riches of traditional value. This research reveals the gastronomic image of Ubud through a cross-platform analysis of TripAdvisor restaurant reviews and public opinion on sentiment labels at the micro level, implemented with VADER before fine-tuning aspect sentiment analysis (with BERT) to obtain a more granular representation. An in-depth analysis was conducted using wordcloud for cross-platform insights and SWOT recommendations. The research results show that the highest accuracy model evaluation results reached 98.87% for the term extraction aspect and 97.48% for the sentiment analysis aspect for TripAdvisor. Based on insight analysis, the food aspect is the main focus on both platforms, but with different narrative patterns: TripAdvisor emphasizes detailed evaluations such as taste, presentation, and service, while X is more oriented towards promotions, cultural identity, and participatory experiences, especially related to events such as the Ubud Food Festival. The integration of ABSA results into the SWOT framework resulted in four strategic findings: main strengths in the form of culinary authenticity, service quality, atmosphere, and experiential value; weaknesses related to inconsistencies in taste and chef quality; opportunities obtained from organizing festivals, street food, and culinary diversification; and threats in the form of overtourism and the perception of high prices. Overall, this study provides conceptual, methodological, and strategic contributions. The resulting findings strengthen the scientific basis for developing Ubud as a sustainable gastronomic destination that emphasizes taste, nature, and culture, as well as supporting data-based decision-making for tourism stakeholders.

Abstract

Although Ubud has been designated by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as a global gastronomy tourism destination, existing research remains limited in assessing its strengths and challenges from a data-driven tourist perspective. Prior studies largely rely on qualitative, supply-side approaches and conventional sentiment analysis that overlook specific experiential aspects. Moreover, the integration of multi-platform data and the application of modified deep learning-based aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) models remain underexplored in gastronomy tourism. This study addresses these gaps by employing a modified ABSA-bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (ABSA-BERT) framework on data from TripAdvisor and social media X to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of tourist perceptions. The model incorporates predefined aspect-based aspect term extraction (ATE), valence aware dictionary and sentiment reasoner (VADER) lexicon labeling, and a novel algorithm for extracting aspect-level opinions. The results demonstrate strong performance, achieving 93.50% accuracy on X data and 91% on TripAdvisor. Findings indicate an overall positive perception of Ubud as a global gastronomic destination, particularly for its authentic local cuisine and appealing natural dining atmosphere, although challenges such as overly spicy dishes and uncomfortable seating arrangements remain.
