Tourist Points of Interest

POI content types

Standard content types are implemented by default when the "Hospitality" module is activated. They are more commonly referred to as Tourist Points of Interest (POI) as they address the tourism welcome skill. They are accessible from the menu at "Contents > Content definitions > Content types" and there are 6 of them:

Intent associated with each POI type

Each POI content type is associated with an intent initialised with a set of phrases to train your digital employee to understand questions such as "I'm looking for a restaurant", "where to sleep?", or "what is there to do nearby?".

These intents are accessible in the "Hospitality > Intents" menu:
