Supporting cultural partners is at the heart of every destination marketing organisation (DMO). Whether you’re working with independent organisers, established venues, or local businesses, your role is to help them reach audiences, grow sustainability, and strengthen the identity of your place. 

But in practice, this isn’t always straightforward. Cultural partners often face challenges with visibility, limited booking tools, or fragmented promotion. At the same time, DMOs are tasked with showing the bigger picture.

Making sure that visitors and locals alike can easily see what’s happening, trust that the information is accurate, and take part with ease.

That’s exactly what CultureHosts was built to solve. 

One platform, many benefits

CultureHosts has been refined to give destinations a practical toolkit for connecting people with place. At its core, it offers three major benefits. 

First, website integrations allow live cultural listings to be embedded directly into your own site or partner platforms. Instead of static event pages or out-of-date listings, you can showcase a real-time feed of experiences that people can browse and book. 

Second, CultureHosts provides a marketplace where DMOs can showcase and sell the experiences offered in their area. Rather than sending visitors to multiple websites with different booking processes, everything sits in one trusted hub, making it easy to discover, book, and pay in a single place. Independent organisers, tour operators, and venues retain full control over their listings, while the DMO gains a powerful way to present a cultural offer that’s easy to browse and book.

Third, cross-promotion becomes easier across networks. Events added by local organisers can appear on your site and across a wider ecosystem of partner platforms. That means more visibility for cultural partners and a richer, more consistent picture of what’s on in your destination.

Why this matters

For DMOs, having a joined-up system is essential. Accurate, bookable listings increase visitor confidence, reduce friction, and ultimately drive participation. For cultural partners, being part of a bigger network helps them reach new audiences and generate sustainable revenue. And for places, it strengthens the overall cultural offer, showing both visitors and residents that there’s always something worth experiencing.
