Description
Building on the work of enhancing the capabilities of the TouristAttraction Type, the Tourism Structured Web Data Community Group propose two new Types TouristDestination and TouristTrip.
These proposals reflect the real needs of organisations such as city authorities, tourist boards, travel agents, etc. promoting tourist attractions in particular area or; organised or recommended trips to visit attractions.
TouristDestination A tourist destination. In principle any Place can be a TouristDestination from a City, Region or Country to an AmusementPark or Hotel. This Type can be used on its own to describe a general TourstDestination, or be used as an additionalType to add tourist relevant properties to any other Place. A TouristDestination is defined as a Place that contains, or is colocated with, one or more TourstAttractions, often linked by a similar theme or interest to particular a touristType. The UNWTO defines Destination (main destination of a tourism trip) as the place visited that is central to the decision to take the trip.
- Subtype of: Place
- Property: touristType
- Property: includesAttraction (new property): Attraction located at destination. [Expected types: TouristAttraction, TouristDestiation]
TouristTrip A tourist trip - a created itinerary of visits to one or more places of interest (TouristAttraction/TouristDestination) often linked by a similar theme, geographic area, or interest to a particular touristType. The UNWTO defines tourism trip as the Trip taken by visitors
- Subtype of: CreativeWork
- Property: touristType
- Property: itinerary (new property): Destination(s) that make up a trip. For a trip where destination order is important, use ItemList to specify that order. [Expected types: Place, ItemList]
See JSON-LD Examples below..
Justification for a generic Trip Type?
Already defined are Types for other trip types: BusTrip, TrainTrip, and Flight. There is potential for a Generic Trip Type to act as a super-type for these plus TouristTrip, being the home for the following properties: arrivalTime, departureTime, provider, and itinerary. This is offered as an alternative suggestion to the standalone TouristTrip.

"name": "Shakespeare’s Gatehouse",
"description": "The Cockpit pub marks the approximate site of Shakespeare’s gatehouse. On 10 March 1613, Shakespeare bought the old priory gatehouse from Henry Walker, ‘citizen and minstrel (musician)’ for £140. It was later bought at an auction in 1843 by the City of London Corporation for £145. The deed of purchase for the property still exists today and is housed at the London Metropolitan Archives; it contains one of only six “authenticated” examples of Shakespeare’s signature. The property is particularly significant because – although Shakespeare owned property in Stratford – it is the only property he is known to have owned in London. Given its convenient proximity to the Blackfriars Playhouse and The Globe, Shakespeare may have intended to make it his home, yet no evidence suggests he lived here in the four years prior to his death in 1616."

"name": "Blackfriars Playhouse",
"description": "Shakespeare’s Blackfriars Playhouse stood in Playhouse Yard and is regarded as one of the most important sites in English theatre history. Richard Burbage formed a syndicate with Shakespeare, Henry Condell and John Heminge, among others, and together they purchased the playhouse in 1608; yet, due to the outbreak of plague, the opening was delayed until the winter of 1609. It is widely believed that The Winter’s Tale and Cymbeline were written with the Blackfriars Playhouse in mind, despite the fact both plays were also performed at The Globe theatre. The final show at Blackfriars Playhouse was performed in 1642, before it was pulled down in 1655."
