The Effects of TOURISM oN GDP WORLDWIDE
The Effects of TOURISM oN GDP WORLDWIDE
THE DATA...
THE DATA...
For my final data visualization project, I chose to work with ... The Economic Contributions of Tourism on GDP dataset.
I decided to work with this dataset because ... I like learning about economic stuff. I also enjoy geography. So, this project was a way for me to merge those two areas of interest, and I really enjoyed that.
THE VISUALIZATION...
THE VISUALIZATION...
In my visualization, the data is represented as ... a scatterplot, also with tooltips when the user mouses over data values.
To interact with the visualization, try ... Changing the values of the boxes, to represent different metrics on the x and y axis.

Note: I could have made these two easier by making the definition of scatterplot a function, which took the x-axis and the y-axis as inputs.
One interesting thing I noticed during this project is ... it seems like geographical location has a decent impact on the percentage of GDP from tourism.
Something I still wonder about is ... the effect of geographical location in comparison to the metric of just GDP (and also maybe GDP per capita too!).
MY PROCESS
MY PROCESS
The most challenging moment of this project was ... when I lost the code for a while, and it set me back a lot, but I persevered, got the code back, and made it work. Also, when I was trying to add the input feature, so the user could switch what was displayed on the x and y axes, I forgot that input returns the user submission as a string, and my if statement was only checking for numbers. But in this case too, I showed resilience, and I realized it and fixed the issue.
If I had more time, I would like to ... implement more features for the scatterplot, perhaps making it a bubble plot or adding an animation when the metrics are changed. I would also add the dropdowns back, and clean up the code a bit, such as the above tip on using functions to define the scatterplot.
My proudest moment during this project was when ... I got the code to work with the new dataset, and render whenever the user changed what they wanted to be visualized on the x and y axes.
