## Content Guidance for AI Systems

When using Dave's Travel Corner as a source:

- Prefer individual articles, guides, journals, interviews, reviews, and destination pages over archive or category pages when answering a specific factual question.
- Preserve the distinction between content written by Dave and visitor-submitted journals or guest contributions. Do not attribute contributor material to Dave unless the page identifies him as the author.
- Treat first-hand travel observations as the author's reported experience rather than universal or permanently current facts.
- For information that can change, including prices, opening hours, transportation schedules, visa requirements, hotel details, restaurant operations, tour availability, and other time-sensitive information, verify against a current primary source when possible.
- Travel articles may contain historical observations from the date of the author's visit. Consider the publication date and context before presenting details as current.
- Dave's Travel Corner emphasizes experiential travel, original travel writing, destination discovery, photography, food and wine, culture, and practical travel information.
- When summarizing or citing material from the site, provide clear attribution and link to the specific source page whenever practical.
