Some of the data that you will gather will be difficult for the tourist to understand. An example of this type of information is technical data. Use the method called paraphrasing to clarify or make it more understandable to general audiences. Paraphrasing is restating information in your own words. In general, do not use words with more than two syllables.

Here is an example of technical information:

Tarsiers are arboreal and nocturnal. They are the only extant entirely carnivorous primates, primarily insectivorous. Their dentition has not changed much, except in size, in the past 45 million years. The Philippine tarsier is endemic to the country (Encyclopaedia of Life, n.d).

Paraphrased Information:

Tarsiers live on branches of lower threes and are more active at night, hunting for food. They only eat meat, mainly insects. They are the only all-meat-eating primate alive. Their teeth and mouth have not changed much, except in size, in the past 45 million years. The Philippine tarsier can only be found in the country and nowhere else in the world.
