Tagging self-catered accommodation

1	The wiki doesn't mention anything and TagInfo doesn't show anyone adding much. answered 18 Dec '14, 08:57 rorym 5.4k●14●49●100 accept rate: 11%

There are two tourism tags appropriate for self-catering holiday lets. These are tourism=chalet (for a building let entirely), and tourism=apartment for several apartments in a single building, with 17k and 1k uses respectively. Neither has a particularly obvious, or even highly appropriate name (I'd find it hard to label a gite or a farm holiday cottage as tourism=chalet, which dont fit the current description on the wiki), but these are what is in use.
