I would generally think of office=* as not accessible for the general public, 
at least this was the initial idea if I recall correctly. The office=company 
tag seems to be an outlier among the office tags.

For example 
amenity=bank is a place where (small) customers go to do banking 

office=bank is a place where the “other” bankers are working (no public 
admittance)


Those places where the public is generally admitted will usually/often also 
have private areas where the public can’t access (similar to the kitchen or 
office of a restaurant)

depends what this is describing: a place where you go to book a tour / hotel / 
flight or a business 2 business place (back office) where contracts / 
agreements are made, tours are composed, offers calculated, catalogues created, 
etc.?

IMHO upholding clear semantics for shop and amenity (public generally admitted) 
and office (public generally not admitted) would help make/keep tagging easier.

There is also craft, which is more about formal qualification though and can be 
used in addition to other main tags.
