FEATURES

What can you do with Whereabouts?

Directory

The heart of your destination’s data lives in the Directory. Build detailed member profiles, sort, tag, and track activity for seamless collaboration. Members can manage their own, or leave it to you.

Create visitor-focused profiles

Capture info about your operators that visitors want to know, such as location, hours, seasonality, media, amenities and more.

Let members manage their info

Through secure logins, members can make changes and upload media themselves. Once approved, changes are synced everywhere.

Sort with custom tags

Sort and categorize your Directory with tags built for tourism destinations. Create custom tags (“blueberry festival,” “harvest market”) that are unique to your destination.

Enjoy smarter media management

Upload operator images once, and Whereabouts sizes them to fit. The drag and drop interface makes it easy to change order or set the featured image.

Collaborate with activity tracking & notes

See what’s been changed and what needs attention with activity tracking. Tag team members in internal notes and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Custom Lists & Reporting

Custom Lists are the most powerful way to use your Directory. Organize your member profiles in any kind of grouping you need, for campaigns, planning, or just keeping track. Custom lists also come with a built-in analytics dashboard.

Work faster with smart lists

Choose what tags to include and create a smart list in one click. Or, handpick for a specific project with a manual list.

Create lists for internal records

Group members by industry, location, or any criteria that matters to your team.

Create lists for targeted marketing

Use any standard or custom tag to create a list for your next campaign. Want to know which operators are family-friendly, have pools, and are open May to September? You can do that.

Favourite the lists you use most

Find yourself coming back to the same lists multiple times? Keep your favourite lists at your fingertips.

Track performance & report with ease

Use custom lists to see engagement, leads, and clickthroughs, right in Whereabouts.

Widgets

Turn any custom list into a widget, drop it onto any webpage, and create beautifully designed operator listings on your own website with just a few clicks. Widgets are always fast-loading, mobile-friendly, and filterable.

Think outside the “Where to Stay” page

Widgets are embeddable anywhere, so you can get creative. Add chalets and skating rinks to a winter campaign landing page, or a carousel of cafés to a blog about local coffee shops.

Use as is, or style to match

Widgets display as grids or carousels and look polished right out of the box. Match your branding by making simple changes to the CSS.

Set custom filters

Create clickable filter buttons for each widget to help your visitors narrow their search.

Stay up-to-date, instantly

Widgets stay updated: changes to member profiles in the directory or custom lists show up on your website the moment they’re approved.

Events

Build out your region’s events calendar with one-night-only gallery openings to weekly farmers’ markets to annual festivals. Let members submit their own, or run it all in-house. It’s flexible and easy to browse.

Set it weekly or once in a lifetime

Whether it’s every Thursday or once a year, you can schedule events exactly how you need to.

Offer member submissions

Operators can submit and manage their own events. No more inbox clutter.

Create beautiful widgets

Events widgets display on your website as full calendars or more curated carousels. Set date ranges, filter by specific tags, and let visitors sort and browse.

Keep everything in sync

All event updates flow straight from your dashboard to your website. Set it and forget it.

FAQs

Have a question? We’ve got you.

What is Whereabouts, and how is it different from other tourism software?

Whereabouts is destination management software built specifically for DMOs. Unlike generic CRM or marketing platforms, it’s designed to help you manage members, promote tourism listings, run event calendars, and create embeddable widgets — all without custom development.

Do I need to be a tech expert to use Whereabouts?

Not at all. Whereabouts is designed for tourism professionals, not developers. It’s simple to use, and we handle setup, training, and ongoing support so your team can focus on impact, not tech.

Can our members update their own listings or events?

Yes! Member self-service is a core feature. Operators can log in to update listings, submit events, and manage their information without you having to chase emails or make edits manually. If you prefer that your destination organization manages all of the member information, that’s okay too! Whereabouts is flexible and you can decide who gets access.

Will Whereabouts work with our existing website?

Yes. You can embed directories, event calendars, and booking tools into virtually any website. No need to rebuild — Whereabouts adds tourism functionality wherever you need it.

TESTIMONIALS

What do our customers have to say?

"Whereabouts meets our unique CRM needs as a DMO that competitor platforms couldn't address. The platform enhanced our ability to manage our tourism operator membership database while making it easier for operators to update their business information that seamlessly syncs with our consumer marketing website.The TTC customer service and support made our CRM migration to Whereabouts manageable, and the onboarding process for operators to claim their business listings was simple and easy to follow. Our team leverages the platform as our Member Portal to not only manage member profiles, but also make available our online resource library through the Learner app. With Whereabouts we now have a central online hub to support tourism operators in our region and optimize our operations as a DMO."
