Abstract
In the area of hotel and tourism sector, various research are analyzed using big data. Big data is being generated by any digital devices around us all the times. All the digital process and social media exchange produces the big data. In this paper, we analyzed the de-identification method of big data to use the personal information of hotel guests. Through the analysis of these big data, hotel can provide differentiated and diverse services to hotel guests and can improve the service and support the marketing of hotels. If the hotel wants to use the information of the guest, the private data should be de-identified. There are several de-identification methods of personal information such as pseudonymisation, aggregation, data reduction, data suppression and data masking. Using the comparison of these methods, the pseudonymisation is discriminated to the suitable methods for the analysis of information for the hotel guest. Also, among the pseudonymisation methods, the t-closeness was analyzed to the secure and efficient method for the de-identification of personal information in hotel.
