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 March 2025, you’ll earn royalties at 100% until the end of June. 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 March 31, 2025. 

Right now, all the destinations on our list are in Europe. We intend to expand it soon.

I often get asked if I’m worried about ChatGPT and tools like it. Last week, at Arival and ITB in Berlin, this was the first question from most people I met. 

Then, when I got home, this article by Selene Brophy was published. I thought back to a VoiceMap tour I had just done in West Kreuzberg, passing through Viktoriapark. It was nearly perfect, with a surprising route and so much more than just facts. The publisher, Beata, was obviously overflowing with anecdotes and observations about this corner of Berlin, but she was sharing an infectious passion for the city too.  

Could ChatGPT simulate Beata? I opened it up on the day GPT-4 became available and asked it.
