# Tripadvisor Category Enrichment

> This page explains what the Tripadvisor Category enrichment is, what it returns, how it decides its results, what sources it relies on, and how to safely consume the output.

## Place Type Classification

The `placetype` field categorizes the business into one of four primary types: `accommodation`, `restaurant`, `attraction`, or `CANT_VERIFY`. This high-level classification determines the fundamental nature of the business and drives the overall user experience.

### Fallback Behavior

When sufficient evidence is unavailable or inconsistent, the enrichment returns placetype `CANT_VERIFY` with `subtype_id` 0 and `subtype` "CANT\_VERIFY".

## Output schema

<ResponseField name="reasoning" type="string" required>
  Short narrative explaining the classification and key evidence used for the decision.

  Useful for transparency and QA, not intended as machine-parsable logic.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="placetype" type="enum" required>
  Primary classification of the business type.

  **Values:**

  * `accommodation` - Lodging establishments
  * `restaurant` - Food service establishments
  * `attraction` - Tourist attractions and activities
  * `CANT_VERIFY` - Unable to determine classification
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="subtype" type="object" required>
  Granular classification within the place type using Tripadvisor-style taxonomy.

  <Expandable title="subtype properties">
    <ResponseField name="subtype_id" type="integer" required>
      Stable numeric identifier within the placetype's taxonomy. Use this for programmatic logic.

      On failure, returns `0`.
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="subtype" type="string" required>
      Display-friendly category label corresponding to the subtype\_id.

      On failure, returns `"CANT_VERIFY"`.
    </ResponseField>
  </Expandable>
</ResponseField>
