Bring Your Destination Marketing to Life, in Real Time
Mapzest gives your Destination Management Organisation a single, real-time guide across the whole destination - turning brand campaigns and stakeholder engagement into something visitors actually use.
From Campaign to Conversion
Closing the gap between destination marketing and what visitors actually do
A DMO's job is largely won before a visitor arrives - brand campaigns, press and media relations, content that sells the place. What happens after they arrive is usually handed over to whatever the visitor finds themselves, a stakeholder's own website, a search engine, word of mouth. Mapzest is built for that handover specifically - a live, interactive guide that carries your destination's own brand and messaging through into the visit itself, so the impression your marketing worked to create doesn't stop the moment someone gets off the train.
A Platform for Every Stakeholder, Not Just Your Team
Built for a destination with many voices, not one
A DMO works with dozens, sometimes hundreds, of accommodation providers, attractions, restaurants and event organisers, each with their own priorities and their own pace of updating things. Mapzest reflects that structure rather than fighting it - a listing takes a stakeholder minutes to claim and keep current themselves, or your team can manage it centrally on their behalf, or split the load however suits your destination, so accuracy doesn't depend entirely on one team's bandwidth.

A Live Programme That Extends the Visitor Journey
Giving visitors a reason to stay longer, see more and come back
Every event, from a headline festival to a small gallery opening, can sit on one live schedule across your destination. Extending dwell time and encouraging visitors to explore beyond the one attraction that brought them are classic destination management goals - a constantly-updated programme is a direct, practical way to deliver both, rather than hoping a visitor stumbles across what else is on.
Offers That Move the Needle on Spend Per Visitor
A direct line from marketing spend to visitor spend
Every stakeholder across your destination can create their own offers, landing directly in the visitor's Mapzest Wallet as they explore. Cross-sector bundles, off-season incentives, loyalty offers for returning visitors - all sit in one place, giving your DMO something concrete to show funders and stakeholders when demonstrating impact on spend per visitor, not just visitor numbers.
Extending Your Brand Into the Physical Destination
Wayfinding, kiosks and interactive totems, on-brand across the destination
Mapzest can extend beyond the app into physical wayfinding signage, self-service kiosks at visitor information points, hotels and transport hubs, and interactive totems at gateway locations and town centres - each showing the same live guide, reinforcing your destination's brand and messaging at exactly the point visitors are deciding what to do next.
A Regional Presence Without Losing Your Own Brand
Sitting inside a bigger map without becoming indistinguishable from it
Visitors rarely respect the boundary between your destination and the one next door - a guest based in one town will happily travel to the next for a good day out, and a DMO benefits when they do rather than losing them entirely to a competing guide. Mapzest can present your destination as its own branded guide while it sits inside the same wider regional map as neighbouring destinations, so cross-border visits work in your favour instead of falling through the gap between two separate platforms.
What Comes With Your Destination's Guide
Everything needed to keep your destination fresh, evidenced and easy to find
Evidence for Funders and Stakeholders
Real, live usage data gives your DMO something concrete to point to when demonstrating impact - not just visitor numbers, but what people actually looked at and did.
Stakeholders Keep Their Own Listing Current
A listing takes a stakeholder minutes to claim and update themselves, or your team can manage it centrally - no single bottleneck either way.
On-Brand Wayfinding, Kiosks and Totems
Extend the same live guide into physical signage and self-service touchpoints across your destination.
