Talk:Home exchange

vfd discussion
Don't know why the text for home exchange was removed and then redirected to hospitality exchange. Home exchange is not at all the same as hospitality exchange.

I've put back the text back and removed the redirect.

 * I think I agree, these should be two articles. (ps -- please sign in and sign your comments using ~ thanks!) (WT-en) Majnoona 16:51, 26 February 2006 (EST)

 * Hmm, I'm not sure how to format this one, or how to deal with the external links. We really try to avoid long directories of external links, but in topics such as this they are sometime the 'point' of the article. Any suggestions for a template style? I'm also going to go ahead and include a "related" link to Hospitality Exchange since it may be of interest to folks looking for alternative accomidations. (WT-en) Majnoona 16:56, 26 February 2006 (EST)

 * Note that this article was up on Project:Votes for deletion for nearly a month, so the redirect was done according to policy. Is there a significant difference between Home exchange and Hospitality exchange that warrants two separate articles?  They seem similar enough topics that one article should suffice - the primary difference is whether or not someone is a guest in your house, or whether you borrow someone's house, right? -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:54, 26 February 2006 (EST)

 * Apologies for not signing in and signing comments. Still smowehat new to Wiki. Again, I would argue not to delete or redirect Home Exchange to Hospitality Exchange. My family and I are seasoned home exchangers but are not at all interested in hospitality exchanges. These 2 travel alternatives are directed at different audiences. Even though on the surface they may seem similar they are very very different and appeal to different people. Other terms for Home Exchange (primarily used by North Americans) are House Swap or Home Swap (primarily used by people in the UK/Australia). It may make sense to have a redirect from House Swap or Home Swap to Home Exchange. (WT-en) Tony 20:00, 27 February 2006 (EST)

 * Home exchange --I do not know enough about the practice to know whether it warrants an article for itself. Putting it up here for discussion --(WT-en) Ravikiran 01:35, 31 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * Redirect to Hospitality exchange, unless there is some significant difference between the two. -- (WT-en) Ryan 00:49, 20 Feb 2006 (EST)
 * This one reappeared after being redirected, so I'm putting it back here for discussion. -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:56, 26 February 2006 (EST)
 * Sorry, I didn't see the vfd message on this page. I'd say "keep" -- home exchange is a popular alternative to hotels, especially for families on extended vacations. It's a very different crowd than house swappers. There are different tips. warnings, resources... in fact, the only thing they have in common is that they're travel topics ;-) If they're "the same" than so is Discount airlines in Europe and Tips for Hitchhiking . (WT-en) Majnoona 14:42, 27 February 2006 (EST)
 * Vote to keep. Home exchange is totally different than hospitality exchange and a great, inexpensive way to travel someplace, live like a local by staying in a home rather than a hotel and save a lot of money. Terry 0600 28 February 2006

Home exchange website..
None of the information listed in the link descriptions appears reliable or useful. All appear to be added by the respective service providers. Are the links useful? If so, doesn't anybody see a value in keeping the associated text? This area of external links in travel topics seems like a grey one indeed. --(WT-en) inas 19:08, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

 * I think the topic has some use, and as an avid couchsurfer myself, I don't consider home exchange to be anywhere near the same ballpark. But maybe we should clean the list out, and keep and expand two or tree of the most worthy ones to establish a standard new listings can follow. Going through the links none of the organisations seems to be not for profit which is a real pity. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 20:19, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

 * The article just looks like a link directory. Horrible. It may have some worth, but I am struggling to see it.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 12:27, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

 * I'm thinking about either a block for all external links or another vfd discussion because imho it has no value. It's all thrid parties that generate revenues with their listing here and low value for the traveller. (WT-en) jan 12:30, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

 * Bump. We need to sort this out. And many other travel topics which are also little more than link farms. This should probably be discussed elsewhere, but why do we not apply the same external link guidelines to Travel Topics as we do to more regular content? --(WT-en) Burmesedays 22:42, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

 * I agree with you, so I plunged forward and deleted the links section. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 03:38, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Are you sure Columbus landed at Trujillo? I was always taught that he never reached the American mainland only Carribean islands

Regions
We currently have two regions for Honduras - Pacific and Caribbean - and these deal with the narrow coastal plains on either side of the country. We need to deal though with the mountainous interior. I suspect the central belt may split quite nicely, east and west, giving us four travel regions for the country. Please anyone who knows the country post your thoughts here. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 00:16, 24 April 2010 (EDT)

 * Aside from food, soccer wars, and neighbors, I don't know much about the country. But that sounds about right. We might be able to get away with just one Interior Honduras article, since the Caribbean section of the country is actually a good chunk of its territory (Pacific Honduras is tiny—just the Choluteca and Valle departments���but important), but perhaps a split now will preempt one further down the road. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:58, 24 April 2010 (EDT)

 * As one region, the interior looks huge. I have split it along the obvious department boundaries. All of the main non coastal attractions are in the western interior, but as you say, a split now should preempt any later need. The southern boundary of the Caribbean region is somewhat arbitrary but all others follow department lines. Any ideas for names of the two interior regions? And further comments of course gratefully received. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 23:51, 24 April 2010 (EDT)

 * I would put all of the eastern province (Gracias a Dios) in the Caribbean region. The thing about the interior is that there isn't much of anything in what would be the eastern interior region—I think Juticalpa and Catacamas are pretty much the only towns with more than 30,000 residents? But I'm not necessarily objecting to the split, just laying out the rationale.

 * If following an interior split, the division is between the higher mountains to the west and the lower mountains to the east—I'd go with simply East Honduran Mountains and West Honduran Mountains. If not, Honduran Highlands would work well. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 10:57, 25 April 2010 (EDT)

 * Upon reflection, I reckon one highlands region is right, especially after incorporating all of Gracias a Dios into the Caribbean region. Have done so and will put the regionalisation into place. Thanks for your invaluable input Peter.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 22:45, 25 April 2010 (EDT)

Currency, time and spelling conventions
Below is a proposed infobox to let readers know which formatting conventions to use in Wikivoyage articles. Do you agree with these proposals? If you have direct knowledge of what is most commonly used in the country, please let us know. Ground Zero (talk) 12:38, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Moved to the top of this page. Ground Zero (talk) 04:27, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I might suggest adding something like, "Please use local currency (lempira) for all prices. Equivalent dollars or euros can be shown along with the price in lempira if desired, but refrain from including only a dollar or euro price." You might be able to reword more succinctly. Thoughts? Mrkstvns (talk) 18:44, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Do we need special instructions for Honduras, or is the general advice provided at wv:$ applicable here? Ground Zero (talk) 12:44, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It's worth noting that I've seen many of our Central American articles exclusively use foreign currency (almost always USD), which adds to a bit of inconsistency. Alternatively, we could create a template for HNL along the lines of DKK, per se. SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 12:50, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, gents. The updated infobox looks good. Mrkstvns (talk) 19:36, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Article status
I've made some significant additions to this article today. It is still at outline status (as it has been fairly skeletal for a while now) but I feel it might be a usable article now. As I have made most of the recent changes I'm reluctant to upgrade the status without some agreement from others. Your thoughts? Is it usable? (WT-en) Cardboardbird 04:19, 30 January 2010 (EST)

 * Yes, please go ahead and upgrade it to usable status. It would be nice, though, to call out a specific restaurant or two, and to add contact details for the one government run hotel. Nice work! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 14:02, 30 January 2010 (EST)

 * Ok, done. Article is now set as usable. Thanks for the feedback. I will see what info I can find regarding specific restaurants etc. (WT-en) Cardboardbird 06:01, 31 January 2010 (EST)
