The Essential

The Essential, a data-driven initiative that promotes responsible tourism, supports small businesses, and preserves local culture.

Taking advantage in commercial marketing… for a cause.

We place a tracking pixel on your website to collect key visitor insights, just like major marketing agencies. Using this data, we send visitors a custom "Essential Guide to Being a Good Tourist" for your area, equipping them with:

  • Responsible travel practices

  • Ways to support local businesses

  • Key resources for their visit

Each area receives a personalized "Field Guide" landing page with essential links, local recommendations, and a dedicated #TheGoodTourist podcast.

People dancing outdoors at a festival or event, with colorful outfits and relaxed atmosphere.
