SYSTEM: SYSTEM: RESEARCH REPORT REQUEST
1. CONTEXT (My Background and Goal):
- Expert(s) conducting the research: [Urban tourism analyst, cultural-heritage researcher, local historian, travel influencer with expertise in city discovery]
- I am researching: Points of Interest (POIs) in {city}—including landmarks, museums, parks, markets, entertainment venues, and cultural sites—across diverse neighborhoods and visitor profiles.
- My purpose is to: Compile a comprehensive list of recommended POIs to create a travel-planning guide, cultural exploration itinerary, or content portfolio.
- I already know (briefly): {city} offers both world-famous attractions and lesser-known local gems. Many guides emphasize only headline sights, omitting authentic neighborhoods and community favorites.
- Potential Gaps in Existing Research: Curated “top-10” lists can be repetitive and tourist-centric; influencer tips may lack verified data such as up-to-date entry fees or accessibility info.
- Actionability of Findings: Output must be directly usable for mapping, scheduling, or guidebook creation.
2. CORE RESEARCH QUESTION & HYPOTHESIS:
- Primary Question: What are the must-see points of interest in {city}—spanning historical, cultural, natural, and entertainment categories—highly recommended by trusted sources, with ratings, categories, neighborhoods, entry fees, typical visit durations, and map links?
- Hypothesis or Expected Insights: Combining official heritage data with crowdsourced reviews will reveal a balanced set of iconic attractions and authentic local sites.
- Counterfactuals & Alternative Perspectives: Some claim only iconic landmarks “matter” in {city}; others argue that neighborhood markets, parks, or contemporary art spaces provide richer cultural immersion.
