Tips:

 - When adding a place be sure to select the appropriate category like restaurant, bakeshop, etc.

 - If possible, please provide details like office hours, if it is a restaurant of a food establishment you can provide its specialty and/or suggested budget.

 - Also, provide a means of transportation (by tricycle, by van, etc.) and the minimum fare.

 - We can also add pictures of the place so that tourists will have an idea what the place looks like.

 - If the place or establishment has a website or telephone number, you can include it. 

  

 - If you know that the establishment accepts credit cards or Cheque please add it to the details.

 - And most of all, provide a good review about the place :-)

"By promoting local tourism we are boosting the local economy. By mapping our locality we are mapping its future". Happy mapping!
