GPS coordinates dataset of wandering people or tourists

Question

I would like to use a dataset of GPS coordinates (with time if available) of people (preferable tourists) visiting places in a city.

I would like to use it to compute a map layer with the intensities or frequencies of visits.

I have been using an application to make journeys by my city to make some tests but I would need much more data to accomplish the project.

Where or how can I find it? City place or transportation used by people in that city is not a need (although is preferable walking people).

take a look at answers for this question on GIS forum , it might help . — Mokhtar, Mar 25, 2018 at 13:01
@Mokhtar thanks. More than the location of POIs (interesting places to visit) I would like to use the paths that a visitant follows to reach there. — user1993416, Mar 25, 2018 at 17:33
flickr's search may prove fruitful here; perhaps combining vacation or tourist/tourism tags with images that are geocoded. — albert, Apr 3, 2018 at 16:20

But you'd have to screen either the GPX files based on GPS coordinates, or text label.

You can use internet search to find keywords:

And then each trace is individually downloadable, for example:

Apparently, public GPS traces are available in bulk in the Planet data - read more.

I would like to thank for your answer. The last link read more it does not link any current webpage. May you update the URL, please.

Openstreetmap offers the routes you commented but they are mostly of hicking activities. It is difficult to find dataset about city tourism.
