User exploration badges
Visitors unlock badges by completing routes, checking in at stops, and exploring across cities and route themes.
This helps increase repeat exploration and gives users clear progress goals.
Business participation badges
Businesses receive badges when they are included in routes and approved programs, making participation visible to visitors.
Badges show route relevance such as Main Street, Historic, Coffee Trail, and Community participation.
How communities and towns can participate
Chambers, tourism teams, and city partners can launch route programs that connect local businesses and cultural places into one public exploration experience.
Membership tiers define what each business can publish inside hubs and ecosystems, from baseline listings to featured route and sponsorship opportunities.
