Ask HN: I've bought a domain for my city, any ideas on how to use it?

Hello,

I've bought a domain similar to my city name in Italy

Vicenza -> veecenza.com

I'm looking for ideas on how to use it and get some little money to fund my other real project.

I was thinking of using it for foreign users, maybe events but there's already a tons of website.

What might be interesting for a tourist to find in such a website?

If you visit the website now you'll find a couple of images and three links, just testing some themes, nothing serious.

Best! Filippo

I would talk to local businesses and the chamber of commerce to build something that addresses pain points they have.

The domain is usually the easy part - content so you rank on search engines.. and more importantly, so people have a reason to visit the site in the first place :)
