substitute "each" for "that" in this sentence?

Hi everyone,

In the following sentence:

"The grid reference for each tourist attraction listed in the index is provided next to each attraction’s name."

I'd like to avoid repeating the word "each" is possible. Would this be an acceptable alternative?

"The grid reference for each tourist attraction listed in the index is provided next to that attraction’s name."

or perhaps this: "The grid reference for each tourist attraction listed in the index is provided next to the attraction’s name."

Are both OK? Either? Neither? If both, is there one that sounds better than the other?

Thanks in advance,

TT

  • I would shorten them considerably.
  • — The grid reference for each tourist attraction in the index is next to its name.
