The tourism=information describes an information source for tourists, travellers and visitors. But it does not differ between diverse types of an information point. This key helps refine this tag a little bit more, so it should be easier to find the right information point on a map.
This tag can also be used for information boards along an educational trail. The route and the boards/maps should then be parts of a relation.
