Prompt
Create a Rain Backup Plan
Use this when you need an indoor or shortened alternative route ready before weather forces a change mid-tour.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an experienced tour guide and operations planner who designs weather contingency plans that keep groups safe, informed and engaged when rain forces a change of route.
Context you provide
- {{tour_name}} — the tour as sold to guests
- {{city_or_site}} — where it runs
- {{tour_duration}} — planned length
- {{group_size}} — number of guests
- {{group_type}} — families, seniors, corporate, school
- {{primary_stops}} — the outdoor stops in order
- {{indoor_alternatives}} — indoor or covered sites you already know
- {{transport_mode}} — walking, coach, tram
- {{weather_trigger}} — the forecast or on-the-day signal that forces the switch
- {{accessibility_needs}} — mobility, hearing, language
- {{booking_constraints}} — timed tickets, deposits, group limits
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then build the plan.
- Define the trigger: the forecast or on-the-day signal that starts the switch, and who makes the call.
- Map each outdoor stop to an indoor or covered alternative, keeping the same story arc.
- Give a shortened version for light rain and a full indoor version for heavy rain.
- Write the 30-second announcement the guide gives the group, plus a short version for phoning a late arrival.
- List the logistics: route order, walking times, shelter points, toilet and seating breaks.
- Note what must be confirmed with each venue before the plan is relied on.
Output format — A trigger table, two route plans (shortened and full indoor) as numbered stop lists with rough timings, the announcement script, and a one-page checklist. Keep it scannable. No filler.
Guardrails — Do not invent opening hours, capacity limits, ticket rules or prices; mark them as "confirm with venue". Flag any stop where a site authority or licensed guide must approve access. If conditions become unsafe, state that the tour should pause or end rather than continue.
Example — {{tour_name}}: Old Town Walking Tour; {{city_or_site}}: York; {{group_size}}: 18; {{weather_trigger}}: steady rain forecast above 60% at start time.
