Feature neccessity vs Attribute

tourism=chalet and tourism=apartment are standalone. tourism=camp_pitch is needed to cover different areas. For this, why not use building=* + camp_lodging=yes / lodging=camp / lodging=yes? That's already its feature, and likely to be inside a tourism=camp_site . Unfortunately building:use=* is tied to building=* , without a corresponding structure possible.

The primary reason for a feature rather than an attribute is twofold: 1) tourism=* comes with a whole set a context that is lacking from an attribute; namely, that the entity is of interest to tourists 2) it makes this an intuitive/natural analogue to tourism=camp_pitch. I'm not quite understanding the distinction you're making when you say "tourism=camp_pitch is needed to cover different areas". Would you mind expounding?

Also, the wiki pages for both tourism=* and amenity=* advocate their use in combination with building=* on the same entity, so this seems to be a common pattern. Joel Amos (talk)

tourism=camp_pitch has no other feature tag, and can cover different surfaces or facilities (tables and fire or grill, as illustrated by cover photo). This already has building=* , and they are inside the tourism=camp_pitch . It would be akin to creating a tourism=hotel_building for building=hotel inside a tourism=hotel . There is no utility in adding more tourism=* features merely for showing the existence of multiple buildings inside a tourism=* feature. What's needed is an attribute to show what the building=cabin and building=static_caravan etc are used for.
tourism=* and amenity=* can be used on the entire site. They are more than the buildings. building=* + tourism=* is only 417k, not explaining the rest of the 628k tourism=* way and relation . For the use in tourism=hotel , single building and building-only hotels are common in cities. When it occupies more land, it's more convenient to add it to the building=* first, before drawing another area for the site perimeter in the next level of detail. This is not the case for tourism=camp_lodging .

Unless you suggest this can include the surroundings of the buildings, for the yard, grounds, tables, grills, etc. But again as mentioned by others, you have to define clearly whether this is for a single or group of buildings.

Per your feedback, I updated the definition defining the feature as a plot where the lodging exists. As such, I also provided multiple mapping options.

"...and they are inside the tourism=camp_pitch" As I mentioned in the Rationale section, "the camp_pitch proposal defined 'pitch' as 'a free space used to place a tent or or caravan,' and this matches common usage." As such, tourism=camp_lodging is not to be placed within a tourism_camp_pitch feature. They are separate but analogous features.

"building=* + tourism=* is only 417k" I think this well illustrates that it is conventional to add a tourism feature to an element that is marked as a building.

The main purpose for proposing this as a tourism feature rather than an attribute is twofold: 1) It signals to data consumers that this feature is of interest to tourists. 2) It matches what has already been established for tourism=camp_pitch. A rentable teepee is similar semantically to a camp pitch, and it makes for these to have a similar tagging scheme.

"you have to define clearly whether this is for a single or group of buildings" I struck that ambiguous language a day or so ago.

tourism=camp_pitch obviously a typo as I repeat my opening on how they are inside a tourism=camp_site .

Whoops, thanks for the clarification. Joel Amos (talk) 16:04, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

May be useful- rather than just single family unit, camp_lodging might also work well for summer youth camp cabins, multi-unit camp lodge that are not hotels or chalets. Skunkman56 (talk) 15:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

I do not like his idea. I think, that this key would give us nothing which can not be already done using tourism=camp_site (+ additional tags e.g. backcountry=yes) or tourism=wilderness_hut. I am the author of https://opencampingmap.org and would not support this tag in my map as a new type of site. I would rather interpret this as some existing type (e.g. tourism=camp_site+backcountry=yes).(User giggls:giggls) 08:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

To be clear, I am not proposing something analogous to tourism=camp_site. Rather, this feature is analogous to tourism=camp_pitch. As such, tourism=camp_lodging would most often appear within a camp_site, the same way camp_pitch usually appears within a camp_site. The difference is that camp_lodging is a plot with static lodging whereas camp_pitch is an empty plot where a person erects or parks their lodging. Joel Amos (talk) 21:34, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
