Vanuatu Points of Interest: Multilingual OSM Geospatial Data

Geospatial points of interest for Vanuatu exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). Updated as of March 2026, the data captures infrastructure categorized by amenities, retail shops, and tourism facilities across the archipelago. It provides localized attributes including multilingual names and specific hospitality capacity metrics.

Use Cases

• Mapping tourism infrastructure and lodging capacity using the 'tourism', 'beds', and 'rooms' columns
• Analyzing urban service distribution by filtering the 'amenity' and 'shop' tags for essential facilities
• Geocoding and navigation support using 'addr:street', 'addr:city', and multilingual name fields

Strengths

• Multilingual name support including English, French, and Bislama (name:bis)
• Includes specific hospitality metrics like 'beds' and 'rooms' for tourism analysis
• Available in four GIS-ready formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, and KML

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data subject to varying levels of positional accuracy and attribute completeness
• Inconsistent population of optional fields such as 'opening_hours' and 'addr:full'
