CUNY DATA 607 Final Project Proposal

Introduction

In July, 2016, I went to Iceland with my mother, and it was a wonderful trip. Even now, I still can not figure out why I booked the flight to Iceland without the second thought when I knew nothing about the country. However, after I read so many news and articles about the booming of tourism of Iceland, I think this project is a good opportunity to help me figure out why this country is so attractive to me and many other people.

Research Questions

To explore the reason why the tourism is booming in Iceland, I want to break down to different topics abouth this country.

Approach

While I am using the ralational databases like the most time I do with the data. I would like to try to transfer the data I collect to the graph-based database such as Neo4j. This can visualize the data. I will also present the data by using significant amount of graphics such as constructing and ploting various regression models to compare and find the relationship in the data.
