Upcoming Webinar: Unlock Year-Round Opportunities with Indoor Tours

Join us for a webinar on an opportunity that only 2% of publishers are taking advantage of – indoor tours. We’ll discuss our indoor tour player, which we designed specifically for spaces where GPS playback isn’t possible like museums and galleries, as well as the simpler process of publishing indoor tours using Mapmaker.

While we’ve built our reputation on exceptional outdoor tours – and walking tours in particular – our growing community of loyal users now prioritise VoiceMap experiences when they travel, giving us the perfect opportunity to go indoors.

Only 34 out of 1,648 tours on our platform use our indoor interface at the moment, but indoor tours don’t depend on good weather in the same way as our outdoor tours. They’re also an opportunity to offer tours at some of the world’s most visited attractions. Tours at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, Rome’s Colosseum, and Lisbon’s Monastery of Jerónimos have already used the indoor player successfully.

Get 100% royalties when you publish in key destinations

If you produce a tour in a key destination, listed below, and you publish it by 31 May 2025, you’ll earn royalties at 100% until the end of August. You’ll also get marketing worth $200, including a free Viator listing, a boosted Instagram Reel, and Google Things to Do ads.

We’re making this offer because of the potential we’ve seen to publish tours that sell well immediately. Over the last twelve months, VoiceMap has added 83 new destinations to the almost 500 it now offers globally. When those destinations were strategic, with data pointing to existing demand and network effects from our other tours in the region, the publishers often received their first royalty payments in just a few weeks. This has been especially true for smaller cities and towns, where there is a constant stream of visitors, but not quite enough for a regular guided tour.   

How to Qualify

  • Your tour must be in one of the destinations on our Key New Destinations, below.
  • You need to complete a short form, sharing your tour’s destination and the email address linked to your VoiceMap account. You’ll find that form here.
  • You must publish your tour by May 31, 2025. 

Most of the destinations on our list are in Europe, and we recently added destinations in Canada, the Mexico, and the US.
