The importance of promoting small and local businesses

We live in a connected society that each day improves the way people explore and communicate. This can benefit so many businesses in many ways. However, we must not forget our local small businesses that don’t always have the resources to get connected and promote themselves. This is why it is up to us guides to find them and share their story and what they have to offer. In many large cities there are small restaurants that provide amazing food that tourists often miss in the already small time they have to take in the localities. By sharing pictures, reviews, and discussions around them we are able to put them on the map and give both business owners and tourists an opportunity for new business and experiences. This is way I love sharing their food and their locations with the community. While sharing the experience is a limited sense, it still can advertise an experience far different from mainstream tourism and gives visitors an insight on actual every day life in a new city
