Art, Culture and Tourism

Organizations use open data as a basis for culture and tourism guides for visitors and to calculate expected sales. The main types of data used include geospatial, tourism, transportation and environment, as well as economic statistics.

Tourism organizations use open cultural data to reach new audiences by mapping, providing information on, and marketing local sites and events. They use the data to promote events to specific audiences, and allow visitors to navigate the various options available to them.

A number of organizations also use data on weather predictions, consumer, tourism and economic data for planning purposes, in order to be prepared for and accommodate differing numbers of visitors throughout the year.
