Turn Travel Blogs into Interactive Digital Itineraries with Bandwango

Travel blogs highlight places to visit, such as “10 Things to Do in [City]” or “Hidden Gems in [Small Town].” These articles are valuable resources for showcasing destinations and drawing attention to local businesses and attractions. But most blogs stop at simply recommending places to visit. What if you could take it further by creating digital, interactive, mobile-friendly itineraries that give travelers the push they need to actually experience those recommendations? With Bandwango’s Experience Builder, you can turn your blog posts into a digital pass that guides visitors, encourages exploration, and rewards them for checking in at featured locations!

Transform Recommendations Into Actionable Activity

Travel blogs often give readers lists of things to do, but they don’t always make it easy to follow through. Bandwango helps solve this problem by providing the resources to help transform your blog content into digital, mobile-friendly itineraries called digital passes. These digital passes let passholders explore your destination with features like maps, check-in tools, and rewards for visiting various locations.

For example, a blog about “The Best Coffee Shops in Seattle” can become a Coffee Trail Passport, where travelers visit featured cafes and check in to earn points that unlock rewards like a Coffee Trail Passport branded mug! Similarly, a blog featuring “Top Outdoor Adventures” could turn into a Hiking Passport like Flagstaff Trail Passport that guides visitors to trails and offers incentives like a commemorative fanny pack for exploring multiple locations.

This helps visitors move from reading about experiences to actively participating in them.

What Are The Benefits Of Turning Blogs Into Digital Passes?

Increase Visits to Local Businesses

Digital passes encourage travelers to visit the locations mentioned in the blog. This drives traffic to local businesses and attractions, directly benefiting your destination.

Collect Useful Data

When visitors check in at locations, you gain insights into their behavior. This data helps you understand which places are the most popular and how to refine future promotion strategies.

Incentivize Exploration

Adding rewards to your passes helps motivate visitors to explore more of your destination. Travelers can earn points redeemable for prizes by checking in at various locations, creating yet another layer of excitement!
