Counts are over the 67 reachable sites, latest scan of each. Listings come from OpenStreetMap; businesses without a website of their own are counted but not scanned. 4 more have an address that no longer answers (dead domain, bad certificate or server down); they count next to the businesses without a website and stay out of the ranking.
Each kind of business is its own index, scanned the same way. This page is the tours, attractions and museums index.
