Sports and Activity Tourism Marketing
Mapzest is a Destination Marketing Platform that helps sports clubs, activity centres and instructors reach more visitors.
Get Booked by Visitors Still Deciding How Active to Be Today
Mapzest surfaces sessions, courses and hire to visitors planning their day
Sports clubs, activity centres and instructors compete against every other way a visitor could fill their day - a walk, a beach, a museum. Mapzest puts your sessions, courses and equipment hire on the same interactive map, categorised by the activity itself, so someone weighing up a paddleboard lesson, a coastal bike hire or a taster class finds you exactly when they're deciding, not after they've already settled on something less active.

It's somewhere to browse, explore, laugh and make the most of life's little moments. With something different around every corner, many visitors arrive for one reason and leave having enjoyed so much more.

Fill Taster Sessions and Off-Peak Slots With a Live Schedule
Courses, tournaments and open days visitors can find and book into
Empty slots on a timetable are lost revenue - Mapzest fills them by reaching visitors while they're still planning their day. A taster session converts curious visitors into paying participants, a family fun day brings group footfall on a quiet weekend, a tournament or open day raises your profile and fills the calendar, and a beginner's course launch fills a brand new class from day one. Every session you publish lands straight in the destination's 'What's On' schedule.
Convert First-Timers Into Regulars With Wallet Offers
Trial sessions, off-peak rates and membership deals that reach visitors first
Offers you create land directly in the visitor's Mapzest Wallet while they're still deciding what to try. A free first session converts a curious visitor into a paying participant, an off-peak discount fills quiet daytime slots, a family package deal drives group bookings, and a membership offer turns a one-off visitor into a regular. It's a direct line from a visitor spotting an offer to a session booked with you.
