What makes a local guide useful
A list of names is not enough. Guests need context: why this restaurant, when to book, where to park, what to order, whether it is child friendly, and what to do if it is raining.
Sections worth including
- Groceries: nearest, best full shop, best prices, market days, opening quirks.
- Dining: first-night easy option, special dinner, family option, local favourite, booking advice.
- Activities: walks, beaches, lakes, museums, markets, rentals, rainy-day plans.
- Transport: nearest station, taxis, car advice, airport route, local apps.
- Seasonal notes: summer crowds, winter closures, market seasons, swimming, hiking, weather.
Why maps and links matter
When a guest taps a recommendation, they should be able to get directions or book without copying text into another app. Even a practical guide should include a few useful links where they save the guest time.
The Guest Guide keeps local recommendations edited and useful: enough to help the stay, not so much that the guest has to browse a travel directory.
