Accommodation, tourism offices and museums in Flanders and Brussels

Toerisme Vlaanderen wants to share information with us about accommodation facilities like hotels, hostels, campings, tourism offices and museums.

This is an attempt to establish conversion rules from their format to the tagging used by Openstreetmap.org

<closingPeriod> Do we want to include this? Not opening_hours
