What is Tourist ID?

Your nickname, your public page and your card — one identity for the road

Tourist ID in one sentence

Tourist ID is who you are on Tourist. It is a unique nickname that becomes your address on the platform, a public page that tells the world you are a traveler, and a digital Tourist Card that local businesses recognize when you show it.

Think of it the way you think of a handle on a social network, except that this one is for the road: it tells a café, a guesthouse or a guide that you are a guest in their city, and it opens the doors that partners keep open for Tourist members.

Your public page

Every Tourist ID has a public page at tourist.com/nickname. You decide what is on it:

  • Name, photo, cover and a short bio
  • Countries you have visited and cities you know
  • Languages you speak and your travel interests
  • Contacts and social links you choose to share
  • A gallery of your travels

You pick the style, color and font of the page and the card, so it looks like you and not like a form. The page link and the QR code on the card point to the same place.

Your Tourist Card

The Tourist Card is the visible side of your Tourist ID. It lives in the Tourist app and on the website, and it can be added to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. It carries your name, your nickname and a QR code; scanning it opens your public page.

Tourist Plus members can protect the card with a PIN and order a free physical card with NFC: tap it to any phone to share your Tourist ID and traveler profile.

At partner businesses

Show the card or scan the partner QR code before you pay, and the business applies the discount or perk it has published for Tourist members. There is no booking through us, no voucher and no commission: the offer goes from the business straight to you. Today the card is recognized by 55.216+ local partners in 195+ countries.

With other travelers

A Tourist ID is also how travelers find each other. Exchange cards with people you meet on the way, add friends, see who is in the same city and start a chat — all from your public page, without giving out your phone number.

Free and Plus

Claiming a Tourist ID is free: nickname, public page, digital card and the partner discounts of the free tier are included, with no card fee and no subscription.

Tourist Plus is an optional yearly subscription that unlocks the higher discount tiers at partners, the PIN-protected card and the free physical card.

How to get yours

Sign up on tourist.com or install the Tourist app from the App Store or Google Play, choose your nickname, and your Tourist ID is ready to show.
