FOR TOURISM & DMOS
Attract visitors and keep their spending local.
Use your Community Card to run seasonal promotions, welcome conventions, and incentivize bookings — while directing every dollar to the local businesses you choose.
Get Started
A custom-branded digital card visitors can only spend at your local businesses.
Your Community Card arrives as a digital card in the visitor's phone — redeemable only at the businesses you choose. With an average 30% overspend on transactions, the economic impact goes well beyond the card value.
Booking Incentive
Turn bookings into local exploration.
Use your Community Card as a welcome gift for hotel partnerships, resort packages, and event registrations. Visitors arrive with spending power directed to your destination's local businesses.
It's the incentive that makes your destination stand out — and drives foot traffic from day one.

Turn the holiday shopping season into a major revenue driver for local businesses. Launch seasonal Community Card promotions with bonus value that keeps shoppers spending locally all season long — from Black Friday through New Year's.
One purchase, two cards — the bonus only works at restaurants
Drive diners to local restaurants with limited-time promotions. Offer bonus value cards that are only redeemable at participating restaurants during your event.
Create buzz around grand openings, festivals, and local events by bundling Community Card value with tickets or attendance.
Use Community Cards as prizes for charity raffles, fundraiser rewards, and incentive programs. Cards keep winnings circulating at local businesses — so your giveaway supports the community twice over.
GROUP PURCHASES
Win group bookings with a local spending perk.
Pitch your Community Card as a branded welcome gift for group retreats, conventions, and off-site meetings. Attendees explore your destination while spending stays local.
It's a differentiator that helps your destination win group bookings — and drives shoulder-season revenue when you need it most.
