[talk-ph] Tags for Resorts

[Jim Morgan]

I've been using tourism:hotel for most of them. If I put guest house in there I think it must have been the kind of place where you might stay long term if you're working there. Different sort of clientelle to a hotel. And chalets are stand-alone, self contained dwellings, whereas guest houses are more like apartments in a condo. 

So I guess what I'm saying is that if it looked like a real tourist place, I'd just use hotel as a blanket "you can stay here if you pay money" tag. So that seems the most likely for you to use. Guest Houses and Chalets also have their own place, so I don't see why they can't all be used. 

I did a pretty thorough job on the available accommodation along the beachfront, so I'd be surprised if there were many missing there. In the back alleys I did miss a couple, but there's another mapper in Boracay who's been filling those in. 

Oh, one last thing ... while I was putting the resorts in, I was trying to put them in as rectangular ways marked with building=yes so they render on the map as a purple area, which I thought looked better than a single dot, and more like a Real map. It would be good to continue with this tradition if possible. I can give you a hand getting the data in if you like.
