The tourism=* key marks places and things of specific interest to tourists, for purposes of sightseeing, accommodation, information and support. Tourism features can be represented using either a node or an area, and can be combined with other tags. For example, a building that is a museum could be tagged as building=yes and tourism=museum.

It is also possible to add tags relating to addresses and restrictions including days and times of operation. The access=* and fee=* tags can be used to provide details about who can access the facility and if a fee must be paid. Accommodation facilities open to groups only (i.e. not to individual guests) can be tagged group_only=yes.
