To do so, we use machine learning techniques combining supervised and unsupervised analysis and with graphic value, which favours decision-making for tourism operators. Our results highlight a clear emphasis on user satisfaction in the overall model, with a significant connection to the escapist sense of the experience. Unsupervised association analysis suggests that user enjoyment across experiential components positively influences satisfaction. It also allows to visualise the Fishing Tourism user's behaviour according to two types of activity: Charter Fishing Tourism, with an active presence of the escapist component, and Combined Fishing Tourism, characterised by a more passive integration – entertainment and aesthetic – of the user in the activity. The study concludes that improvements in one experiential realm can impact others. Methodologically, the use of AI for sentence-level analysis enhances the understanding of relationships between expressions and variables. The expanded model, incorporating new variables like tourism satisfaction and loyalty, reflects the complexity of the contemporary tourism industry.his study has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation within the RevTour project [Ref: PID2022-138564OA-I00] “Use of online reviews for tourism intelligence and the establishment of transparent and reliable assessment standards", by the Institute of Social and Territorial Development within the ResTur project for the 2023CRINDESTABC call, and OPP78 has received aid from the European Union under the Production and Marketing Plans Program, year 2023 with FEMPA Andalusia 2021-2027 funds for Action 10: Tourist reservations websites. cc-by-nc (c) Taylor and Francis Group, 2025 Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Fishing tourism User experience User-generated content User experiences in fishing tourism info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion
