Proposal for TouristDestination and TouristTrip Submitted to Schema.org
Posted on:A proposal has been submitted to the Schema.org community for the creation of two new Types — TouristDestination & TouristTrip
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]
For more details, and options to support and/or comment, see the full submission in the GitHub Issue (#1810).
Trip schema could definitely benefit from fields like:
1. Days of the week that the trip operates on
2. Tips for the trip (eg: children below 8 should be accompanied by adults)
3. Languages supported (eg: English & Spanish)
4. amenityFeatures (eg: free breakfast, free water bottle etc.)
5. duration of trip (eg: 6 hours round trip)
