Third, it determined every tourist preference on a variety of activities. Fourth, it combined the “personal traveling average expense per time” and “usually lodged at what kind of room type” for the clustering purpose. Fifth, it generated each group’s formal context and concept lattice by formal concept analysis. Finally, it compared the feature of attributes associated with formal concept analysis and statistics methods in terms of T-test or ANOVA.
