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.
We’re looking for you to help us expand CityXee to new cities, islands or regions in Europe and the rest of the world.
Our journey so far
We started in 2022 with Côte d’Azur where we built a guide based on local experiences, hikes and insider tips. In 2025 we followed with Paris where we created a city guide focusing on neighborhoods, culture and experiences.
Both guides form the basis of the proven franchise model you can now become a part of.
What you get as a franchisee
Your own CityXee subdomain (e.g. rom.cityxee.com)
Multilingual WordPress setup with Elementor and user-friendly structure
SEO-optimized article templates and editorial guidelines
Opportunities for revenue through affiliate links, ads and partnerships
Sparring and community with other franchisees
Technical support and continuous updates
Price of your new site
It costs from 4.000 euros excluding VAT for a franchise license and onboarding for a CityXee subdomain (one-time cost). After that, there is a monthly operating cost from just 336 euros, which covers hosting, support, ongoing updates and access to our shared analytics and SEO tools and content templates. So you get a complete solution – ready to go live with your own “local” CityXee site.
Even with modest ambitions, it’s realistic to succeed as a CityXee franchisee. Your new site only needs to turn over 4.000 € per year (11 € per day) to cover overheads and start making a profit. That’s because our system is digital, scalable and requires minimal administration.
