I launched DestinationHub to turn your existing tour content into navigable, app-free experiences

A couple of months ago I shared DestinationHub here as we kicked off our pilot programs. Today I'm excited to say we're officially out of beta!

A quick reminder of why this exists: I've spent my career in geography and spatial software, and as a lifelong traveler I kept hitting the same wall. The self-guided tour content was great — and then someone handed me a PDF. Try navigating from a PDF on a street corner and you'll understand why I built this.

DestinationHub takes the stop-by-stop tour content organizations have already invested in — walking tours, heritage trails, main street routes, scenic drives — and turns it into an interactive, navigable experience for visitors, with no app download required.

Since our first rendition we've added a lot:

• Trail support and multi-mode tours
• Retail locations and public art
• Games like iSpy (in the works)

And a couple of things worth re-emphasizing from day one: built-in analytics so you can see how visitors actually engage with your content, and tour-completion experiences that funnel users to partner destinations, donation pages, or advertiser content.

We've also turned our map experience into an embeddable, so organizations can drop it straight into their existing website, with more richness and configurability than Google Maps.

DestinationHub is built for DMOs, CVBs, and any organization sitting on great tour content that's stranded in print or PDF. We'll even build your content in the platform for you before handing over the keys to an easy-to-use dashboard.

Currently available to US-based organizations. Take a look at destinationhub.io or get in touch — I'd love to connect!
