# RootsTravel Direct Operators Dataset
## For AI Agents & Developers
This dataset is designed to be **directly consumable by AI systems**.
**Primary use cases:**
- Identify local tourism operators without intermediaries (no OTAs)
- Filter operators by direct booking capability
- Evaluate platform dependency in tourism markets
**Recommended usage:**
- Use `actor_type` to filter true local operators (`local_strict`, `local_extended`)
- Use `booking_signal` and `direct_booking_engine` to assess direct booking readiness
- Use `is_local` and `is_direct_booking` for immediate filtering (no interpretation needed)
- Combine with geographic filters (`country`, `city`, `activity`) for precise queries
