Provide 24/7 Tourist Information
By using Mapzest, visitor centres can provide information about:
Attractions
Restaurants
Events
Activities
Transport
Visitors can explore the destination even when the visitor centre is closed.
Why Visitor Centres Need Digital Tools
Today’s travellers often rely on their smartphones and digital tools to plan their activities.
While visitor centres remain important, they face challenges such as:
Limited opening hours
High demand during peak seasons
Visitors arriving outside staffed times
Growing expectations for digital access
Mapzest helps overcome these challenges by providing a digital extension of your visitor centre services.
Visitor Centre Information Management
Attraction and event information can be managed in different ways.
Depending on factors such as team-size and availability, data can be:
Centrally managed by an individual or team
Directly managed by the venue
Managed by the venue and approved by a central team
A combination of any of these
And with the ability to import data, Mapzest is easy to implement in most Visitor Centre organisations.
Interactive Digital Information Displays
The same detailed information delivered in different ways:
Google (Android mobile phones & devices running Android OS)
Apple (iPhone & iPad)
Indoor Kiosks & Totems
Outdoor Kiosks & Totems
Embedded Web
Keeping the same interface throughout reduces friction and ensures anyone can use the system with little to no learning curve.
Add a tourism directory and map to your Tourist Information Website
A Tourist Information website can easily be enhanced with Mapzest’s ‘Drop-in’ live Map and Directory. Visitors to the website receive the same information and experience as with the App and Kiosk.
Ideal for Modern Tourist Information Services
Mapzest is ideal for:
Visitor centres
Tourist information offices
Destination management organisations
Local councils
Tourism partnerships
By integrating Mapzest, visitor centres can provide a modern, digital-first visitor experience.
Mapzest isn’t another directory
— it’s a community-powered guide.
We don’t flood our platform with listings. Instead, we work closely with each area we launch in, partnering with local businesses and communities to build guides that are authentic, trusted, and genuinely valuable.
No fake reviews. No gaming the system. No noise.
Just high-quality listings, launched as community-backed campaigns that shine a spotlight on the best an area has to offer.
When you join Mapzest, you’re not getting lost in a list—you’re becoming part of a movement built to raise awareness, increase footfall, and drive real revenue.
