Publish a tour at one of the attractions or in one of the destinations, listed below, by 31 March 2026, and you’ll earn royalties at 80% until the end of June 2026. You’ll also get marketing worth $200 USD, including a free Viator listing, a boosted Instagram Reel, and Google Things to Do ads.
We’re making this offer because of the remarkable success we saw with last year’s programme. We published tours in 36 new destinations, with many tour creators producing multiple tours – some, like A History of Italy Podcast and Mark Whiteley in Portugal, published four tours each across different cities. The top-performing destinations included Ålesund (Norway), Messina (Italy), Assisi (Italy), Lagos (Portugal) and Birmingham (UK). What stood out was how quickly these tours found their audience. Publishers often received their first royalty payments within just a few weeks of publishing, particularly in smaller cities and port towns where there’s steady visitor demand but limited guided tour options.
Selected attractions and destinations
This year’s destinations fall into two categories: popular attractions or themed tours, and strategic cities where data shows existing demand.
We identified popular attractions that see high visitor numbers but don’t yet have a VoiceMap tour. Themed tours consistently perform well because they offer the in-depth storytelling and unique experiences that listeners are looking for.
Our destination list includes destinations where we see proven demand from existing VoiceMap users based on their app activity, but where we don’t currently have tours available. These often are port towns with steady tourism but underserved tour markets – places that see constant cruise ship arrivals and independent travelers, creating reliable demand for self-guided audio tours.
How to Qualify
Your tour must be in one of the destinations or attractions listed 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, 2026.
What You’ll Receive
-
Royalties of 80% instead of the standard 50% or 65% until 30 June 2026. That’s a period of three months, starting in April, if you publish at the end of March. If you publish earlier, you’ll get 80% for the period before 31 March too. If you publish later than 31st March 2026, you would still only receive increased royalties until the 30th June.
-
Marketing support worth an estimated $200. This includes:
- A free Viator listing, making your tour available on TripAdvisor, Expedia and Booking.com. Free Viator listings are only normally available to publishers on a paid plan. (Viator’s restrictions do sometimes prevent us from listing tours, but this is extremely rare.)
- A social media post published by VoiceMap. We’ll boost the post to a targeted audience of frequent travellers in key markets on Instagram. This can be either a carousel post or tour reel. You’ll need to record the footage or take the images yourself, but we’ll help you by providing a list of shots that work best. We’ll take it from there, with professional video editing, sound design and visual effects.
- Google Things to Do advertisements. These appear in Google Searches and on Google Maps when people search for both the places linked to your tour and the tours in your destinations overall.
