New small businesses, restaurants and hotels: why sharing about them on google maps matters.

Most of all of us love traveling. And when we do travel, we stay in new places, we need to eat some good food and we may want to move around our new places, buy some stuff and enjoy. So what happens if we have no idea where to find all these things? Would we be asking people around all the time?

To try and answer these questions is why I love sharing my knowledge about new small businesses to allow travelers and other easily buy anything they may need; about restaurants to help us try some most delicious food; and about hotels for secured and relaxing stays during our holiday trips. No single person can know everything everywhere, that’s why I share about these places so as to allow other save time and enjoy their stays wherever they go in the world with the help of local guides and Google Maps which is doing an incredible jobs making the world one village. As a local resident, I have access to more information about the city I live in than any other person from elsewhere.

I am amazed for being a local guide on google maps and I wish many local guides around the world will share their knowledge as I do to access the whole world on our smartphones.

Hi @Oumarkoul ,

By the way, I’ve noticed that your post has a French language label. Please note that I’ve removed it as your post is written in English.
