You know the places a search engine never finds — the swimming hole locals actually go to, the lookout with no sign, the walk that's better at low tide. Tripplanner turns that knowledge into your own byline, your own portfolio, and a badge that shows for it.
Start NowFour ways it pays off — beyond just adding a listing.
Every guide, tip and hidden-gem story you publish carries your name — a public, growing portfolio of your writing, not just a listing in a directory.
You know the track no one else does, the café locals actually go to. Turn that local knowledge into the stories that put your patch of New Zealand on the map.
Your contributor profile can point straight to your own site, Instagram, YouTube channel or wherever else your work lives — free, ongoing exposure for everything else you do.
If you run a business, your listings and articles can send real travellers straight to your door — people discovering you through the content you wrote, not an ad.
Contributing is optional. Anyone can add a free attraction listing in a couple of minutes — no bio, no portfolio link, no profile required. Becoming a Contributor is for locals who want more than a listing: your name on your work, a public profile, and a track record that grows every time you share something new. That's where the rewards below come in.
Every free attraction listing and every post you publish moves you up automatically — there's nothing to apply for, and no one to ask.
