Hi,
I don't think your sentence is actually incorrect, but it is a bit unnatural.
I would say: ' A local tour guide is necessary for first-time visitors in a strange city where it is easy to get lost' (this is just one of many possibilities!).

Hello,
I think it's better to keep sentences as simple and as concise as possible in general, and not overcomplicate things! The base sentence was a bit contorted, I felt.
By the way 'beget' is pretty old fashioned - I wouldn't recommend using it.

Thanks, Seonaid.
Got it!
The reason I use "beget" is that I don't want to repeat the few same words again and again. Sometimes, I feel really bored to death by my repeated word!
Is this reason good enough to justify myself?

It's a great reason!
