I think Nima was referring to articles of monuments / places of interest
that have GPS coordinates in them.  For example, the Trevi Fountain is at
these coordinates: 41.902773°N 12.485952°E

by joining pageviews and coordinate data, you could create heat maps that
may correlate with actual tourist traffic.
