FAQ
What's the difference between a welcome book and guest guide?+
They're often used interchangeably. A welcome book typically includes more personal touches and local recommendations, while a guest guide focuses more on practical information.
Should I have a printed or digital welcome book?+
Ideally both. Use digital for easy updates and sharing before arrival, and have a printed copy in the property for guests who prefer physical guides.
How often should I update my welcome book?+
Update digital versions monthly or when local recommendations change. Print new copies seasonally or when you make significant updates.
