[Tagging] Reproposal of tourism=aquarium

[Fabrizio Carrai]

The acquarium, like the zoos, are touristic attraction. See Tripadvisor if
you want to have a "reference". It also make sense to use attraction=animal
instead of attraction=zoo or acquarium. Doing that you continue the
progressive level of definitions. So, in my opinion you could describe the
Acquario di Cattolica as follow

tourism=attraction
attraction=animal
name=Acquario di Cattolica

Than you could add more details with

animal=penguin;jaws;frog; etc...

or maybe a more generic

animal=fish

Following this approach, you could even think to use differrent animal=*
tags for the different pavilion/tanks.
