I'm looking for freely available touristic (hotel, restaurants, bars, attractions, etc.) poi-data that have some measure of popularity.
With popularity I mean, explicit popularity like on Tripadvisor (i.e: #10 out of 1500 attractions in Paris), but no api/ dump is available for TA. Or otherwise more soft-measures like the nr of checkins (Foursquare for example)
Anyone knows of any data-set (dump or api) which makes this type of info available? First use would be to display markers on a map, where only the most popular are shown. (as showing all 5000 available bars in say Paris is not very practical)
FYI, see list below of some sources I'm checking out

FYI, see list below of some sources I'm checking out
- Factual Global PLaces (dataset from former SimpleGeo): likely no popularity, not tried.
- openstreetmap (not tried yet, perhaps my next check)
- foursquare (has an api with implicit popularity (nr of checkins)) but hard/impossible to query the api to get complete coverage (besides it's against their ToS
- Facebook Graph api looking for places (not tried)
