The destination-related Django model structure you've posted is part of a comprehensive travel platform, covering countries, destinations, attractions, accommodations, restaurants, events, reviews, and travel tips. Below is a breakdown of how it all works together — i.e., the model workflow, relationships, and how these would function in a real travel guide or booking application.


🧭 High-Level Workflow Overview

1. Country-Level Data (Country)

This model serves as the foundation for a travel profile per country — covering:

  • Geography, demographics
  • Currency and financial use
  • Visa and entry requirements
  • Transportation and internet infrastructure
  • Cultural, historical, safety, health info
  • Climate, budget, travel tips
  • Marked by flags like is_featured, is_published, and is_popular

🟒 Used for: Country profile pages, dropdown filters, continent browsing, visa info comparisons, etc.


2. Destination (Destination)

Each Destination links to a Country and a Location (likely from a geo model).

  • Includes practical travel info, local customizations, climate, culture, tech tips, etc.
  • Includes images, rankings, visit statistics
  • Also has admin flags like is_featured, is_published

🟒 Used for: City or region detail pages, country → destination filters, search results, etc.


3. Attractions (WhatToSee)

Represents things to see/do in a destination (TripAdvisor-style).

  • Linked to Destination
  • Contains type (museum, park), description, contact info, price range, hours
  • Ratings and reviews

🟒 Used for: Lists of attractions, sightseeing filters, city guides, maps


4. WhereToEat & WhereToStay

Each links to a Destination and includes:

  • Contact, pricing, rating, images
  • Restaurant types, cuisine, features
  • Hotel types, stars, facilities, amenities

🟒 Used for: Filterable lists of food and accommodations, restaurant/hotel pages, booking integrations


5. Events (Event)

Captures local events tied to a destination.

  • Supports scheduling, contact, tickets
  • Marked with type, ratings, amenities
  • Seasonal, recurring, or one-time

🟒 Used for: Event calendar, dynamic destination highlights, what’s on now


6. User-Generated Content

Includes:

  • Reviews (UserReview): Linked to different types (destination, restaurant, etc.)
  • Travel Tips (TravelTip): Local advice with tip types (safety, money, weather, etc.)
  • Useful Phrases: English–Vietnamese phrases for communication
  • Safety Tips

🟒 Used for: Enhancing authenticity, increasing SEO, user engagement
