A Digital Backbone for Your Visitor Economy Strategy
Mapzest gives your Local Visitor Economy Partnership a single, real-time guide across the whole destination - built to support the Destination Management Plan your LVEP accreditation is founded on.
Bringing Your Destination Management Plan to Life
From accredited strategy document to something visitors actually use
LVEP accreditation is awarded against a Destination Management Plan - a formal statement of how the destination will grow its visitor economy sustainably, covering accessibility, seasonality, business engagement and more. That plan is written for accreditors and funding partners first; Mapzest is the visitor-facing part it doesn't otherwise have - a live map and guide that puts every business, attraction and event covered by your DMP directly in front of the people exploring your destination right now, giving the plan's ambitions somewhere real to land.
Run Centrally, or by Your Partners
Built to fit a partnership, not just one organisation
An LVEP is a partnership of public and private sector bodies by definition, not a single delivery team, so a platform that only works when one organisation controls everything doesn't fit how accreditation actually expects the destination to be governed. A partner business can claim and keep its own listing current directly, in minutes, or your LVEP can manage sections centrally where that's the better governance fit - the split can follow your partnership's own structure rather than forcing one onto it.
Every Part of Your Visitor Economy, in One Place
The kind of accommodation, attractions and hospitality a destination-wide guide like this brings together across a partnership area

A Live Programme Across Your Whole Destination
Supporting seasonality and dwell time, not just single events
Festivals, seasonal trails, business events and one-off campaigns from across your destination can all sit on one live schedule. Extending the season and encouraging longer stays are core to most destination management plans - a constantly-updated 'What's On' is a direct, practical lever for both, giving visitors a reason to stay another day or come back out of peak season.
Offers That Translate Into Visitor Spend
A direct line from destination marketing to measurable economic impact
Every business across your destination can create their own offers, landing in the visitor's Mapzest Wallet as they explore. Early-season discounts, cross-sector bundles, loyalty incentives - all sit in one place, giving your LVEP something concrete to point to when demonstrating how destination marketing spend translates into visitor spend on the ground.
Extending Into the Physical Destination
Wayfinding, kiosks and interactive totems alongside the digital guide
Mapzest doesn't have to live on a phone screen alone. Wayfinding signage, self-service kiosks in visitor information points, hotels and transport hubs, and interactive totems in town centres and gateway locations can all show the same live map and programme - reaching visitors who haven't downloaded an app, and reinforcing your destination's own visual identity across the public realm.
Built for the Shape LVEPs Are Actually Taking
Ready for a Destination Development Partnership, not caught out by one
LVEPs increasingly sit within a wider regional structure, working alongside neighbouring destinations and, in many areas, a Destination Development Partnership setting shared regional priorities across several accredited LVEPs at once. Applying Mapzest across multiple partnership areas links them under one platform without merging them into one undifferentiated map - each LVEP keeps its own accredited identity, boundary and content, while a visitor exploring one part of the wider region can still discover what's happening in the next.
What Comes With Your Partnership's Guide
Everything needed to keep your visitor economy fresh, evidenced and easy to find
Evidence for Accreditation and Funding
Real, live usage data supports the reporting LVEP accreditation and funding partners expect, alongside the qualitative case your Destination Management Plan already makes.
Governance That Matches Your Partnership
Partner businesses can keep their own listing current directly, while your LVEP retains central oversight wherever that fits your governance model better.
Wayfinding, Kiosks and Totems Across the Destination
Extend the same live guide into physical signage and self-service touchpoints across your destination.
Ready for a Destination Development Partnership
Sit alongside other accredited LVEPs in a shared regional structure without losing your own identity.
