There’s an argument that things that tend to appear on tourist information materials and road signs for tourist attractions (brown signs with white text in the UK), but… > I'd very much like to see a toplevel-tag cultural (and probably > another one accomodation). …in principle I agree with an “accomodation” key, although I think cultural is too generic. I’d like to see a move away from overly‐ generic top‐level keys. It might be useful to define properties of certain keys outside the tagging in the database, for example to describe “business people use Key:accommodation”, “tourists use Key:accommodation”, or specifically for a tag “Tag:X=zoo is a tourist attraction”.
