  Q1: Since there are already a huge number of travel websites out there, is this idea even feasible? I personally think most travel websites are too "glossed" over, and learn the most from people's personal travel blogs, which is why I thought this website would be the best of both worlds. What do you all think? (1 pieces of advice)

  Cool idea. There is another idea on here very similar. They have a website called www.golocaling.com You shoudl check it out. I wouldn't worry about accuracy. Wikipedia is considered more accurate than encyclopedia brittanica. Very psyched that you posted here. It's a good idea. Are there any books out there focused on travel etiquette in general? I would check those out.
  
  Also - you should post a picture and put as many tags as you can on here - it will help your idea get noticed.

  Q2: Short of traveling around the world, which I would love to do but can't, how can I make sure the content is accurate? (with room for personal interpretations of course). (0 pieces of advice)

  This business would mainly compete with other travel blogs- personal and professional- that focus on local traditions and cuisine. Check out http://www.travelblog.org/ for an example of such a blog. Be sure to differentiate your website through searchability. Organize by country or destination, and have the tips and tricks broken down by category; you can also have a summary that points out the top 5 things you should know about local traditions in any given destination. Don’t get bogged down in language barriers / hand gestures, as there are millions of websites and books out there discussing “etiquette” in foreign countries. Instead, ideas like “where to stand on a metro escalator” and other tips on how to not **** off the locals will be very helpful and unique to your website. User-generated by local residents is great, but don’t expect them to submit their favorite places to eat or most private, serene beaches to frequent (they’ll want to keep those secret of course). For that, you may have to rely on other travelers to contribute- but make sure it doesn’t …moreturn into a mishmash of information like tripadvisor. You could try to collaborate with local CVBs or Tourism Corporations run by destinations. They may be able to give you information on the locals. As far as your target market goes, you could cater this toward responsible and frequent travelers- be sure and not advertise with sites that provide the bare minimum information where you can book travel (like Travelocity or Expedia). Instead, search for potential customers frequenting other travel blogs like TripAdvisor.
