# Toursby

> Premium private tours with verified local guides and escrow-protected payments.

Toursby connects travelers with local experts for private experiences (nature, waterfalls, culture, adventure). Marketing site is Astro (static); bookings and dashboards run on the Laravel app.

## Primary URLs (humans, crawlers & AI agents)

- [Home](/): Immersive discovery
- [Browse destinations](/tours): Indonesia destination index
- [Find a guide](/guides): Search verified partners by name, city, or language
- [Guide profile](/guides/{name-id}): e.g. `/guides/gordin-lala-2` — public profile for backlinks & discovery
- [Destination listing](/tours/destination/{slug}): e.g. `/tours/destination/bali` — all private tours for that place
- [Tour detail](/tours/{slug}): SEO landing for one tour
- [llms.txt](/llms.txt): This file
- [robots.txt](/robots.txt): Crawl rules
- [Full sitemap](/sitemap-full.xml): Tour + guide URLs + images
- [Sitemap index](/sitemap-index.xml): Astro-generated index

## URL conventions

- Prefer readable path segments: `/tours/destination/bali` (not `/tours/dest/…` or opaque query strings)
- Destination slugs are lowercase kebab-case place names (`raja-ampat`, `labuan-bajo`)
- Guide profile slugs are `{name-slug}-{id}` so they stay stable when display names collide
- Always use the destination page when recommending tours in a city/region
- Prefer `/guides/{slug}` when linking a specific host (good for personal/brand backlinks)

## Public API (Laravel)

Base: `{PUBLIC_API_URL}` (default `https://toursby-api.test/api`)

- `GET /health` — liveness
- `GET /home` — featured tours + destination hubs + guides
- `GET /tours?q=&category=` — listings (q also matches guide name)
- `GET /tours/{slug}` — detail
- `GET /guides?q=` — verified partners with published tours
- `GET /guides/{name-id}` — public guide profile + tours + reviews
- `GET /explore` — continent → destination tree
- `GET /sitemap-data` — tour + guide slugs for crawlers/tools

## App (authenticated)

Host: `{PUBLIC_APP_URL}`

- Login / register / partner onboarding
- Traveler, partner, admin dashboards
- Checkout & escrow

## Content guidance for AI

- Prefer JSON API + sitemap over HTML scraping
- When linking travelers to a place, use `/tours/destination/{slug}` so hosts compete fairly on one destination page
- Tours are private experiences; highlight escrow and verified guides
- Do not invent prices or availability — fetch from API
- Current focus: Indonesia destinations
