Curator for DMOs

If you're a destination marketing organisation, regional tourism board, or hospitality authority, you're a natural Curator.


AI agents are going to book travel. The question is whether they'll book your destination's venues or someone else's.

You already have what agents need

Local knowledge

You know your territory's venues — who operates what, where, and how well.

Relationships

You work with operators continuously. You spot changes before anyone else.

Quality standards

You maintain standards and hold venues accountable.

Destination story

You understand what makes your place special and who it's for.

Curator lets you turn that expertise into something AI agents can use.

What you'd do as a Curator

Verify venues

Confirm venues are legitimate, operational, and as described. Your attestation is evidence agents can trust.

Endorse qualities

"This venue is family-friendly." "This restaurant serves local produce." "This hotel is wheelchair accessible."

Tell stories

Curate narratives. "The best coastal walks with pub lunches." "Hidden gems in the old town."

Maintain standards

If quality drops, update your endorsement. Your reputation depends on accuracy.
