Luís Nóbrega has proposed the development of a new Microformat for semantic description of touristic itineraries, collecting some real examples for a better implementation.

It could be very useful for marketing  and communication strategies, especially for aggregation or search of touristic offers, and for personal uses, like sharing with friends, integration in your personal calendar, photo album or to do list, in interactive touristic guides or with gps software.

A first application of this future standard could be in responsible tourism and international volunteering, helping people in their choice.
