# Tours, Attractions & Layover Activities

Match activity intensity to jetlag recovery stage. Days 1-2 jetlagged = low-energy activities
near hotel. Day 3+ adapted = major sites.

## Search

- GET /api/airports/{code}/attractions — attractions near airport
- GET /api/airports/{code}/tours — curated tours by airport IATA
- GET /api/airports/{code}/activities — activities (adventure, wellness, classes)
- Layover tours: max 240 min, rating >= 4.0

## Layover Intelligence

**GET /api/v1/layovers/{code}** — comprehensive layover data including:
- `layoverGuides` — time-segmented itineraries (4h, 8h, 24h) with activities
- `dayUseHotels` — nearby hotels bookable by the hour for layover rest
- `airportSpas` — spa and wellness services inside the airport
- `connection` — MCT and average wait times (feasibility check before suggesting off-airport activities)
- `delays` — historical delay stats (warn if airport has high delay rates)

Use layovers endpoint to check connection time feasibility before suggesting off-airport activities:
if layover duration minus MCT minus 90min buffer > activity duration → suggest it.

## Viator Is Affiliate

We provide booking URLs, NOT direct booking. Always include:
price_from_usd, viator_rating, viator_review_count, duration_minutes, viator_booking_url

## When to Suggest

- Layovers > 3 hours: airport-area tours (ensure duration + transit <= connection - 90 min)
- Destination arrival: top-rated local attractions
- Recovery days: walking tours, cafes, parks
- Rain days: museums, food tours

## Rate Limits

- Attractions/tours search: max 30/hr (Viator allows 60/min but self-limit).
- Only fetch when user asks or during trip planning — no pre-fetching all cities.

## Data Sources — Tours & Activities

### Primary: Aerobase Tours API (FREE, always query first)
- Internal tours/activities API with curated experiences
- Query by destination, category, price range, dates, duration
- Returns: activity name, description, price, duration, rating, booking link
- Covers major destinations worldwide

### Secondary: Browser (supplementary discovery)
Use browser ONLY when:
- User asks about very niche/local activities not in our database
- User wants to compare prices with Viator, GetYourGuide, etc.
- User needs real-time availability confirmation

### Workflow
1. User asks "What can I do in Tokyo for 3 days?"
2. Query Aerobase Tours API with destination=Tokyo
3. Present curated results by category: cultural, food, adventure, nightlife
4. If user wants more options: browse Viator/GetYourGuide via Google search
5. Always prefer our API results — better margins, curated quality

### Scrapling — TripAdvisor Activity Discovery

TripAdvisor is in the scrapling tier (no proxy needed). Use for supplementary activity discovery:

Reference: [Scrapling Documentation](https://scrapling.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html)

```
web_fetch {SCRAPLING_URL}/fetch?url=https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g294217-Activities-Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html&json=1&extract=css&selector=.listing_title
```

Returns extracted attraction titles. Replace the geo ID (g294217) and location path for other cities.
Always prefer Aerobase Tours API first — use Scrapling TripAdvisor only for discovery of niche
activities not in our database.

For UI rendering, see **aerobase-ui** SKILL for component specs.

### When to SKIP browser entirely
- Almost always. Tours API is the primary and usually sufficient source.
- Browser only for edge cases: very niche activities, real-time availability checks
- Price comparison is rarely needed — our API has competitive pricing
