My app gives access to the inside of famous landmarks using image recognition to determine who is inside and made bookings using our app. It also acts as a recommendation tool that helps determine relevant places to visit and why based on variables set by users from experience.
To start off, the tourist market is very crowded. However, there is a place for local apps. I would start with the local tourist office, they are often happy to put your flyers in their office. If people like your app, maybe you can talk with the city administration and they provide funding.
All in all, your app sounds a non-AR version of LAYAR.
