How do I start a travel and tourism directory?
Choose what it will cover (a niche, a place or both), collect a first set of hotels, tours and attractions, and publish them on a site where people can search and compare them. On DirectoryDuck you sign up free, add hotels, tours and attractions from a CSV file or let AI discovery find matches on the web for you to approve, and publish them at directoryduck.com/your-name.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I start a travel and tourism directory with DirectoryDuck?
- Sign up free and create your directory. Add hotels, tours and attractions from a CSV file or one at a time, or describe what you want and let AI discovery find matches on the web for you to review. Publish them in one click, and your directory is live at directoryduck.com/your-name, with a page for every published listing.

- Can I put a travel and tourism directory on a website I already have?
- Yes. One script tag puts the whole directory on your site, with search, category filters, listing pages and an inquiry form, on every plan today. Widgets show listings, reviews, a star rating, a verified badge, a review form or an inquiry form on any page, and the public REST API returns your listings and reviews as JSON. On Starter and up the hosted page can also run on your own domain.
- How do reviews work in a travel and tourism directory?
- Visitors leave a star rating and a written review with the review form widget or the API. Each review waits until you approve it, you can post a public response, and approved reviews show on the listing's page.
- Can I mark hotels, tours and attractions as verified?
- Yes. Verify a listing with a code sent to its email address, a meta tag on its website or a DNS TXT record, or approve it by hand. Verified listings show a Verified badge in your directory and in the badge widget. A business can also claim its listing: it confirms its email address, and you approve the claim.
