No attractions for "${query}"

Error message

No attractions for "${query}"

What it means

The `trip attraction` command treats a successful page load with zero product cards as a legitimate empty result and throws EmptyResultError scoped to 'trip attraction'. Trip.com rendered fine and no verification was required — the destination keyword simply matched no things-to-do products. It is thrown when WAIT_FOR_ATTRACTIONS_JS resolves to 'empty'.

Solutions

1. Verify and simplify the keyword (e.g. 'Tokyo' instead of a neighborhood or misspelling) and retry.
2. Try the destination in English, as Trip.com's international things-to-do search matches English names best.
3. Broaden the query to the nearest major city or region that has attractions listed.
4. If you expect results for a known destination, complete a Trip.com verification first (region inventory can be gated) and retry.

Example fix

// before
await runCli(['trip', 'attraction', 'Tokio']);
// after: catch EmptyResultError and retry with corrected keyword
try {
  await runCli(['trip', 'attraction', rawQuery]);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.name === 'EmptyResultError') return runCli(['trip', 'attraction', correctedKeyword]);
  throw e;
}

null

null

try {
  return await runCli(['trip', 'attraction', query]);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.name === 'EmptyResultError') {
    return []; // no attractions for this keyword
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `trip attraction <query>` when the things-to-do search page for that keyword renders but contains no attraction product cards (waitResult === 'empty'), e.g. misspelled or non-tourist destination keywords.

Common situations: Typo'd or overly specific keywords ('Tokio', 'Louvre museum tickets price'); searching a tiny town or non-tourist location with no listed attractions; keyword that matches only hotels/flights, not experiences; Trip.com regional site having no inventory for the destination.
