Destination Wayfinder Partner Program

We are proud of our role as Founding Partner of Destination Wayfinder, advancing the opportunity to leverage this innovative tool to redefine the way destination organizations seek operational improvements and succeed in their journey toward greater stewardship of their communities.

We’re proud to partner with Destination Wayfinder and share this new technology with the industry. Effective community engagement and understanding is critical to the work we do as tourism leaders. Whether a destination is dealing with real or perceived issues of ‘over tourism’ or other negative community impacts, a shift in how we engage residents and local stakeholders will protect the future of destinations. Together, we can address key systemic challenges faced by destination organizations worldwide and drive the industry forward at scale.

We are proud to partner with Destination Wayfinder because their framework aligns directly with how we help destinations think, plan, and act more strategically. Destination Wayfinder brings structure and clarity to destination stewardship in a way that perfectly complements our research and strategy work. By combining their global standards with our data-driven insights, we're helping destinations not just measure performance, but continuously improve it for the benefit of their communities and visitors alike.

Our team at Bannikin works to co-create value with client-partners in rural, remote and emerging destinations and we are thrilled to partner with Destination Wayfinder. We see our partnership as an exciting opportunity to integrate the powerful platform into our services and work in collaboration to continue supporting and growing how destination stewardship is understood, adopted and activated.

As destination management evolves towards destination stewardship, the Destination Wayfinder framework is incredibly valuable to ensuring 4EVER Strategies is providing our clients with high-quality, data-driven solutions that prioritize the needs of their destination. Destination Wayfinder gives us a comprehensive overview of our strategic efforts so that we can increase productivity and help the destination organizations that we work with plan for the future. This new partnership demonstrates and furthers our commitment to providing sustainable and impactful strategies for the future of tourism.

Solimar International is thrilled to join the Destination Wayfinder Partner Program. For more than 20 years, we have helped destinations put sustainable tourism into practice, and we are proud of our role in helping establish the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria. Wayfinder gives our partner destinations a practical way to benchmark their current stewardship capacity against GSTC-aligned best practices, then turn the strategies we build together into an actionable, trackable implementation plan. It bridges the gap between planning and performance, so destinations move faster from vision to results.

Clarity of Place is excited to be a Preferred Partner because Destination Wayfinder embodies our core belief that strong destinations require alignment across the entire ‘place’ ecosystem—residents, visitors and placemaking partners working together. Wayfinder's systematic, evidence-based and industry-backed approach transforms destination stewardship from concept to action, giving communities, and the destination organizations that serve them, the tools to implement initiatives that create real, lasting value for the community—not only as a destination, but as a place the destination’s stakeholders also call home.

We joined Destination Wayfinder because we still believe in people, in places, in the radical potential of tourism to make the world a kinder place. In Chile and across Latin America, DMOs are awakening. This is our moment to evolve. Wayfinder gives us language, rhythm, direction. A future worth walking toward.
