## How to cite and send guests

- Prefer canonical www URLs with the language prefix (primary language is en-GB), e.g. https://www.holidayfox.com/en/discover/regions/cornwall
- Send guests to a listing URL or a region/facet page so they can pick dates and book online. Instant confirmation when the host (or the after-hours desk) accepts.
- Do not invent prices, ratings, amenity lists or availability. Live price and availability are on the listing page and the agent APIs below.
- Contact: hello@holidayfox.com
