tourism maps
Visitor navigation aids
Tourism maps are maps designed to help visitors navigate and explore unfamiliar destinations.
They typically highlight attractions, landmarks, hotels, restaurants, and transportation routes rather than the detailed topographical or administrative information found on standard maps.
The hotel lobby had a rack of free tourism maps.
Often simplified and visually appealing, they prioritize accessibility over precision.
