Part of the route between Tokyo Station and Nagano Station already began com- mercial operation in 1997 by the name of Nagano Shinkansen.

    Journal of Global Tourism Research, Volume 4, Number 2, 2019 Original Article A regression analysis of trends in population changes in tourist destinations: Using keyword search volume and statistical population data Masahide Yamamoto (Faculty of Foreign Studies, Nagoya Gakuin University, [email protected]) Abstract This study uses “Mobile Kukan Toukei™” (MOBILE SPATIAL STATISTICS) to identify the number of visitors in different periods at specific tourist destinations. Mobile Kukan Toukei is statistical population data created by the operational data of mobile phone networks. The service makes it possible to estimate the population structure of a region by gender, age, and residential area.

The various interests of tourists influence their keyword search before or during travel, and ultimately emerge as some kind of trend in a specific keyword’s search volume. By connecting the Mobile Kukan Toukei and keyword search volume, linear equations could be derived. These findings could lead to a model to forecast tourism demand in a destination.
