Hello, I would like to know where you get information about unfamiliar city when you travel to one? Does hotel reception or concierge give enough information? Or is it guide magazines you rely on? Would it be nice if there would be information TV hotel lobby where you would het most essential information about city and other interesting facts? Would you appreciate that TV service! (I have a hotel and I’m thinking would my guests like to have this information TV next to reception)

Hello Janis :)

I am not keen on TVs being on all the time in public areas. They disturb the peace if one is not interested in what they are showing.
Maybe they could be in the bedrooms and watching the city advertisement could be optional.

Thank You Mell for your answer, but actually I meant TV with no screen and just useful info like events in evening, weather info, bank, post branches... sightseeing places, souvenir shops, would that still be disturbing? :)
My main idea is that information meets guest and not other way around...

hi Dagiira,

Do you use social travel site? check out tripwolf. It covers the whole world and features city guides and well as trip gurus who you can message for further information about the city and where to go.

The features users reviews and recommendations, so check it out and use it as a travel resource when planning your trip.

good luck

Maybe you may try in bookstore, I found some really good travel books with tons of info inside.

Try look for "Lets Go Europe-On a Budget" / "Lets Go USA-On a Budget" and so on. They had several different edition on different parts of world, sort of like a travel dictionaries. There is culture, city, map,food,hotel, almost anything inside. In fact, I saw a European backpackers in while I am in Singapore holding that book.

*Do wear your glassless while you reading that book....tiny little words...haha
