Counts: the answer frames the destination, or something in it, as suited to couples, romance, honeymoons, proposals, anniversaries, or an intimate atmosphere.

Doesn't count: "beautiful" or "charming" with no couple or romance framing.

This is the exact definition our tagger applies to every answer. Method.

Method and definitions

  • Snapshot: answers observed Oct 1 – Oct 14, 2026, from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
  • Destinations: 124 of 124 tracked destinations have enough answers in the snapshot to be included .
  • Tagger version dated Sep 28, 2026.
Snapshot
For every destination, the latest answer from each assistant to each of the same in-destination questions. Every destination is asked the same questions, so rates compare like with like. A destination is included only once most of its answers are in; answers older than the snapshot's age limit, or asked under an outdated destination name, leave their slot empty.
Linked to
An answer links a theme to a destination when it ties the theme to the destination itself or to a named place in or near it, backed by a sentence quoted from the answer. Passing mentions ("if you're on a budget…") don't count.
Association rate
Linked answers out of all answers about the destination in the snapshot, shown as "k of N answers". Answers to questions that ask about the theme directly are left out and counted separately.
Describes the destination
Among linked answers, the share where the theme describes the destination itself ("one of the most romantic cities") rather than only a specific place in it.
Concrete
Among linked answers, the share whose quoted evidence names a specific place, business, community, nation, event, dish or practice.
Questions that ask about the theme
Some tracked questions ask about a theme directly — romantic hotels for Romantic Experiences, for example. Answers to them would inflate the rate, so they are excluded from the headline and shown as their own rate.
Lift
A destination's association rate divided by the average rate of published destinations of the same type (cities with cities, regions with regions). Shown only when at least 5 destinations of that type are published and the destination has at least 5 linked answers.
Intent rate
For one traveler question type, the share of all its answers (across published destinations) that link the theme. Intent lift divides it by the theme's overall rate.
