Attractive?
What is the intention of the attribute "attractive" in this context? How can it be measured or judged? Is this an objective criterion? --Dieterdreist (talk) 00:01, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
Verifiability
The usage of this tag may be subjective or added for advertising purposes by the operator of a tourism facility. Values such as open, narrow are particulary undefined.
Consider instead using objective tags such as balcony=* or terrace=* to specify if a tourism accomodation provides a balcony or terrace.
See Verifiability - one of the basic Good practice pages for developing OpenStreetMap tags. Subjective or undefined tags cannot be used in a consistent way. --Jeisenbe (talk) 08:35, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
Relation to tourism
This key doesn't seem to be related to the tourism tag. Since tourism=view only has 2 uses and this has upwards of 200. So, they aren't being used together and it's miss-leading to make it seem like they are connected. Anyway, there's already tourism=viewpoint for this type of thing. My suggestion is that the references to tourism be removed from the article until it's actually established that they are used that way and view be removed from the tourism article. 2 uses tourism=view isn't enough to warrant it's inclusion. Especially with a widely accepted tag for this already in use, but even without that it is way below the threshold for being mentioned in the article. I also see no difference between a "view" and a "viewpoint." Except a "viewpoint" is an actual geographical location. Whereas, a "view" is what someone sees based on a bunch of different variables that can't be verified. It's better to map the geographical viewpoint. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:18, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- viewpoints are points, view might describe the situation in a bigger part of a building. And the tourism=viewpoint tag is for publicly accessible features, it is currently not used to tag someone’s balcony, nor the balconies of a hotel, and it would be abusive to do so.—Dieterdreist (talk) 00:21, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
