Visit three local spots
Guests complete a dining, shopping, coffee, wellness, or family route and unlock a reward after verified in-person redemptions.
For chambers, CVBs, and downtown districts
Measure real-world local activity, not just digital engagement.
GuestNetwork gives destination organizations a curated in-person guest pass that routes visitors into independent local businesses and reports claims, redemptions, categories, and estimated local spend.
What exists today
Local discovery exists. Stay-verified in-person activation does not.
Search, review, travel, and deal platforms help visitors discover businesses. GuestNetwork adds a stay-address-based pass that turns discovery into actual in-person redemption.
Where GuestNetwork fits
GuestNetwork does not replace destination marketing. It adds a controlled, measurable in-person redemption layer for active visitors.

Always-on community access
Make guests feel uniquely welcomed during active stays.
Guest access pass programs prove that people will explore locally when the experience is simple, rewarding, and organized. GuestNetwork extends that same logic into an always-on system for visitors, lodging partners, merchants, chambers, and community districts.
Beyond one-time campaigns
Every hotel stay, STR stay, event weekend, conference, festival, or family visit becomes a local discovery opportunity.
Real merchant visits
The system measures in-person claims and redemptions rather than only views, clicks, or directory traffic.
Non-extractive support
No ads, no commissions, no take-rate, and no guest data sales. The purpose is local economic activity.
Gamification and campaigns
Make the destination feel fun, rewarding, and alive.
GuestNetwork can support more than discounts. It can power challenges, badges, local trails, prizes, awards, campaigns, events, ambassador routes, and limited-time rewards that give guests a reason to explore in person.
Digital stamps and badges
Each in-person visit can earn a stamp, badge, or milestone without requiring a native app download.
Local prize drawings
Guests who complete routes can enter drawings for local gift baskets, dinner, experiences, merchandise, or return-visit rewards.
Weekend and event campaigns
Build visitor routes for sports tournaments, festivals, weddings, conferences, graduations, holidays, and shoulder-season weekends.
Travel fitness passes
Guests can unlock local gym, yoga, pilates, recovery, swimming, or wellness access during their stay without signing up from scratch in every new area.
Checkout countdown offers
Final-day coffee, brunch, massage, shopping, luggage storage, and local gift offers become visible as checkout approaches.
Campaign examples
Designed for destinations, not just individual deals.
Chambers, CVBs, downtown districts, hotels, hosts, and merchants can use GuestNetwork to create repeatable campaigns around real-world guest movement.

Local economic impact
Estimate gross spend, retained value, and local circulation.
The calculator is built for chamber/CVB conversations. It separates visitor spend routed to merchants, value likely retained locally, and potential local circulation across spending rounds.
1. Gross local spend routed
Eligible visitors × Pass activation rate × Offer redemption rate × Average spend2. Local retained value
Gross local spend routed × Local retention rate3. Cumulative local circulation
Gross local spend routed × (1 − r^(n+1)) ÷ (1 − r)GuestNetwork local impact calculator
Adjust assumptions for a chamber, CVB, district, hotel network, or merchant pilot.
500estimated pass activations
40estimated in-person redemptions
$1,360gross local spend routed
$748estimated locally retained value
$2,474estimated cumulative local circulation
$34average gross spend per merchant
Conservative default model: 5,000 eligible visitors × 10% activation × 8% redemption × $34 average spend × 55% retention. The circulation estimate models how original visitor dollars may continue moving locally over multiple rounds; it is not new money created from nothing.
Formula output updates as assumptions change.
