Join CityXee and build your own digital travel guide
Do you dream of combining local knowledge, digital entrepreneurship and a passion for travel? With CityXee you get the opportunity to run your own travel portal under a well-established concept and brand.
As a franchisee¹, you become responsible for a destination – such as a city, region or island – and build your own guide with articles, images and recommendations. You get access to ready-made templates, SEO-optimized formats, technical support and coaching so you can focus on what matters most: creating inspiring content and building your local presence.
What is CityXee?
CityXee (pronounced City-See) is a modern, editorial travel guide where all destinations are run “locally” – by people with passion and knowledge of their area. As a franchisee, you get your own subdomain, a professional setup and access to a powerful platform where you can build and expand your own digital travel media.
Our journey so far
We began in 2022 with Côte d’Azur, building a travel guide based on local experiences, hiking routes, and insider tips. Today, the site attracts more than 200,000 visits without any paid marketing, demonstrating strong organic reach and high relevance for travelers.
In 2025, we launched the Paris edition – a city guide focused on neighborhoods, culture, and experiences – a site that you now have the opportunity to take over and further develop.
We’re also working on a major bucket list project launching early 2026, which will further strengthen the CityXee brand. Together, these projects form the foundation for the thoroughly tested franchise model that you now have the opportunity to become part of.
Who are you?
We’re looking for you to help us expand CityXee to new cities, islands or regions in Europe and the rest of the world. Maybe you already have a special destination in mind – a place you’re passionate about presenting and developing as your own CityXee platform.
