We list permanent places of interest to tourists. Temporary or short-term things to do (e.g., farmer's markets, flea markets), items solely on the web, or services such as classes or information services may be listed as resources but not as attractions. We include gear rental listings for sport-related activities such as bicycles, surf boards, and scooters. We do not list car/auto rentals, rentals of electronic equipment (such as cell phones, tablets, and GPS units), or personal items (such as baby strollers, beach umbrellas, and cameras).

The attraction must have an official name, address, and published telephone number. It must be open/available to customers on a regularly scheduled basis. Pre-determined hours or departure times must be published on an official website or in a printed brochure.

If the attraction is not in a fixed place (e.g., tour or cruise), then scheduled departure times, place of departure and destinations (if applicable) must be provided on the website or in the brochure. We list companies that offer day tours or day cruises.

Tour companies that offer private tours may qualify for a listing if:

• The company offers day tours (not overnight or multi-day).
• The company is licensed/recognized by local city or tourism officials.
• The company has a website.
• The word “Private” appears in the listing name.
