[Tagging] correct access tagging for tourist attraction

[John F. Eldredge]

So a reasonable solution would be to tag roadways as access=private if they 
can only be used by specific people such as residents or maintenance 
vehicles, and access=destination if the general public can use them to 
enter a particular area, but can't use them as a through route.
