Visitor bureau venue listings and room capacity evidence for AI
A venue can publish multiple capacities for the same room depending on seating configuration.

A venue can publish multiple capacities for the same room depending on seating configuration. Destinations International publishes a resource for event-planning site visits. A visitors bureau can test whether software extracts the relevant configuration and dates the evidence correctly. Destinations International site-visit resource
Create an original venue listing with theatre and banquet layouts. Add a mock correction to the banquet capacity and a separate floorplan with no effective date. Ask which source supports the applicable capacity and whether the revised listing establishes availability on a requested day. The reviewer should distinguish capacity, availability and claims unsupported by the provided records.
Write your own listing and use invented floorplans. Obtain permission before using any third-party venue photography, branded maps, accessibility claims or contacts.
Describe a fictional venue listing exercise
Original Fiund exercise
Capacity depends on configuration and says nothing by itself about a booking slot
An original fictional room listing and abstract plans use invented capacities. There is no actual venue, availability feed, accessibility claim, contact or booking.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| VB1 | Listing V1 | Room R: theater configuration 100 seats, banquet 60. Original listing effective days 1–9. |
| VB2 | Approved V2 | From day 10, banquet capacity corrected to 50; theater 100 unchanged. Request concerns banquet on day 12. |
| VB3 | Loose floorplan | Shows 70 marks but lacks effective date and configuration label. No day-12 room availability or booking confirmation supplied. |
Question for the model
Which capacity does the applicable source support, and can the floorplan or revised listing establish availability?
Show the reference answer and checks
VB2 supports the day-12 banquet listing of 50 seats while retaining VB1's 100-seat theater figure. VB3's undated, unlabeled marks do not establish a competing current banquet capacity. Neither the corrected listing nor the abstract floorplan supplies day-12 availability, so a booking slot remains unconfirmed. Preserve configuration, effective date and source scope rather than use the largest visible number or treat capacity as a reservation.
- Using theater capacity for a banquet request.
- Treating an undated plan as current evidence or confusing listed capacity with available inventory.
Fields to preserve
- Room and seating configuration
- Defines the capacity basis.
- Listing version and effective interval
- Selects the source.
- Plan provenance and availability state
- Separates unresolved claims.
Test another case
Change the request to theater on day 12. Require 100 from the retained field, without adopting the banquet correction or asserting availability.
Use independently written listings and drawings. Clear real photos and branded maps separately; exclude contacts and unverified accessibility claims.
