# Travel Writing Guidelines

Create useful travel guides from current, verifiable destination and venue information.

Editorial voice and multilingual prose are owned by **editorial-writing-guide**. Load it with this skill and apply its fact-preserving editorial rules to every guide.

## Core Principles

- **Verify practical facts**: Research current hours, prices, transport, access, contact details, and restrictions
- **Serve the visit**: Put logistics, time needs, routes, and constraints where a traveler can act on them
- **Separate traveler needs**: Give distinct itineraries or strategies when budget, time, mobility, or group type changes the plan
- **Write one source version**: Verify one guide before translating it into other languages
- **Record freshness**: State when time-sensitive information was researched or verified

## Operations

- **Create**: Research, draft, translate, and validate a destination or venue guide, see [references/create.md](references/create.md)

## Gotchas

- Hours, prices, transport, and contact details can change quickly. Recheck them for every guide and refresh.
- Omit an accessibility claim when no reliable current source supports it. Do not infer access from photographs or general venue descriptions.
- An insider tip needs a named basis or supplied experience. Do not present a paraphrased general source as local knowledge.
- Check for an existing slug before writing files. Do not silently overwrite an earlier guide.

## Progressive Disclosure

- Read [references/create.md](references/create.md) - Load when researching, drafting, translating, or saving a destination, attraction, or venue guide
