To find key areas of interest we can use a location as a key word to find places near that location that users may like to go to. From my research I have found a number of API’s that will take in a location and provides a list of attractions.

Amadeus - https://startups.amadeus.com/en/amadeus-for-developers

The Points of Interest API finds the best attractions in a given city or area. The API provides a ranked list of attractions and the name, coordinates, category (sights, beach/park, historical, nightlife, restaurant or shopping), tags and score for each one. The scores are powered by the AVUXI TopPlace algorithm which analyzes millions of online reviews, photos and comments to determine popularity.

Geoapify - https://www.geoapify.com/places-api
- Search places by more than 500 categories: restaurants, tourist attractions, historical objects, accommodation, etc. In addition, you can specify requirements, for example, Free Internet Access, No Fee, Wheelchair Access, etc., to choose the suitable ones.
Supports categories such as accommodation, activity, commercial, catering, education, entertainment, healthcare, leisure, natural, office, parking, service, tourism, adult, ski, sport and public transport.
- Important things to note is that category of what is being searched for is required and the longitude and latitude is required.
Foursquare attempts to apply accurate and granular categorization to each of our POI records. In order to accomplish this, we leverage our own proprietary taxonomy of 1K+ categories. Please see below for more information on how to use Foursquare Categories. Categories are assigned to a Foursquare Place in two distinct attributes, both of which are included in Foursquare's 25 core attributes.
