About Local Explorers

Local Explorers helps destination marketing organizations (DMOs), tourism bureaus, craft beverage guilds, Main Street districts, and economic development organizations turn visitors into loyal explorers — and foot traffic into measurable results. Developed by Daruma Tech, our award-winning mobile app platform combines digital passport programs, gamified loyalty rewards, interactive trail maps, trip planning, and real-time deals — all in one fully customizable, white-labeled solution. What sets us apart: Local businesses and tourism partners can update their own content instantly through individual admin portals — no IT required, no multiple logins, no frustration. One secure login updates both the app and your website simultaneously. That means fresher content, more engaged visitors, and less burden on your team.
