Open data enables new digital solutions and facilitates the reuse of tourism content. If information on attractions, events or offers is available in a structured form, it can be easily integrated into digital applications.
Typical areas of application are, for example
- Travel planning apps and digital guides
- Content for tourism websites
- Data-based analyses for destinations
- Innovative travel tech applications
For such solutions to emerge, one thing is needed above all: easy access to relevant tourism data. This is exactly what the GNTB Service Portal offers.
Discover, use and share tourist data in the service portal
Discover and use data packages
Tourism data sets are available in the service portal in the form of data packages. Users can search and subscribe to these data packages and then use them for their own applications.
After registering in the portal, suitable data packages can be quickly found and subscribed to. As soon as a subscription is approved, the data can be retrieved and processed further.
The data packages are provided as JSON files, for example, and can be easily integrated into websites, apps or data platforms.
Retrieve data automatically
For developers, the service portal offers additional options for automated data usage. Data packages can be retrieved regularly and automatically via a defined endpoint and an API key. This allows tourism information to be continuously updated and integrated directly into digital applications.
Share your own data and strengthen the ecosystem
In addition to using existing data, the service portal also allows you to create your own data packages. Organizations can bundle their data sets and either use them internally or make them publicly available.
In this way, a shared ecosystem of open tourism data is growing step by step, supporting innovation in German tourism.
