I have a question about this tag. In my Garmin Oregon, I find four different types for lodging: Hotel/Motel, Bed&Breakfast, Resort and Campground. In the default style I find tourism=resort but I cannot find a single use of this tag in Europe: http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Europe/En/keystats_tourism.html shows holiday_resort used once, but no resort
In the official taglist there is also no resort: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tourism
So why is it in the default style when it is not used? Or are there some holiday resorts tagged in the USA? (Is there a tagwatch for the USA?) Or is it in the default style since Garmin thinks it is necessary, but noone in osm thinks this too?
So many questions ...
"svn blame" reveals that I added it last January, in r1458, in an attempt to cover more of the built-in Garmin types: Enable some POIs in the default style: amenity=car_club, natural=stream, shop=boat, shop=car_wrecker, sport=airport, tourism=resort. What would you suggest then? Translate tourism=holiday_resort to this type as well? Not being a native speaker or a fan of hot weather, I would guess that "resort" means a "tourist trap" in a warm area next to a sandy beach. What is used for the tourist locations along the Mediterranean sea or the Caribbean and Pacific oceans? Marko
