Hello, Nehak417! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

Avoiding touting
Hello and welcome. Most of your edits that I've seen so far have been good, but it's important for you to have a look at Welcome, business owners and Don't tout. Your listing in Delhi/New Delhi for The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel Delhi was good (I copy edited it a bit, but the tone was fine); however, your listing for The Leela Palace New Delhi was almost nothing but touting. If you concentrate on describing the hotel itself - its physical features (exterior, lobby, guestrooms, whatever), amenities and services - as long as you don't use biased superlatives or go on at really great length, you're probably fine. Don't tout what it's near: Readers can figure that out by plugging in the address or latitude/longitude. And don't use words you can find at Words to avoid, nor similar promotional words or phrases.

I would add an important fact here: If you are a paid marketer for Leela Palace hotels, it's very important for you to read Don't tout. Leela Palace is clearly an important luxury chain, but if you proceed to add listings for all Leela Palace hotels in the world and make no other edits, it is not impossible someone might determine that your account is marketing-only and remove all your work.

Now, having said that, there is one hotel marketer who demonstrated such a clear and consistent commitment to Wikivoyage policies and guidelines over time that we made him an Autopatroller, meaning that we trust him enough not to closely supervise his contributions. His username is User:VerbInteractive. He hasn't been active lately, but you can look at his user contributions, and if you post to his user talk page for advice, he just might be monitoring it and respond. If not, any experienced user can help you if you post a question below.

Best,
