Nonotour Rules

Solve using: Penpa+

This was the first genre that I created, then going by the name Nonoloop. In fact, I came up with it just as I was getting into puzzling, making Nonotour one of the very first genres that I ever set. This genre borrows from Nonogram and Detour. When I was first starting, Nonograms were one of the few puzzle types I was already familiar with, and loop genres became an early favourite of mine. As a result, I wanted to make something that combined them together. I'm still figuring out some details of how this genre works, so it may yet evolve. I'm wondering if I should include ? and * clues from Cross the Streams, for example.

For this puzzle, my goal was to make a standard Nonotour. Something to showcase the genre and some of its common deductions in a reasonably sized puzzle. Thanks to Menderbug for testing the puzzle and helping with the name.
