[SmartGuide](https://www.smartguide.app/) [digital audio guide](https://blog.smart-guide.org/en/conventional-vs-digital-audio-guides-whats-the-best-audio-guide-option?hsLang=en) platform keeps expanding its offerings, making exploration simpler and providing travelers with various types of tours, tailored to different interests.By introducing a broader approach to content creation**,** its free [content management system](https://cms.smart-guide.org/Login/Login?ReturnUrl=%2F) now allows content creators (national tourism boards, destinations, tour operators, and travel businesses) to go beyond regional and destination-based tours and design [country-wide thematic tours](https://blog.smart-guide.org/en/smartguide-2025-02-product-update?hsLang=en), to promote extended itineraries.

*SmartGuide's country-wide thematic tours*

## What are country-wide tours on SmartGuide?

Country-wide tours bring together various destinations or places within a country, connected by a common theme. These tours allow travelers to follow curated routes that highlight specific interests, such as cultural heritage, historical landmarks, or scenic trips. Instead of focusing on a single city or region, they offer an expansive view of a country’s attractions, making it easier to explore diverse locations in one journey. Examples include historical trails showcasing significant events, nature-based routes celebrating local wildlife and landscapes, and artistic tours that explore local galleries and artistic heritage.

### Route 66 – The ultimate American road trip

Route 66 stands as a classic example of a country-wide thematic tour, now also available on SmartGuide. Spanning 3,538 km and covering 14 key places, including Chicago, St. Louis, Tulsa, Los Angeles, and Santa Monica, this legendary road trip is designed for a seven-day journey through diverse landscapes and historic towns.

## How country-wide thematic tours can benefit content authors?

Creating country-wide thematic tours opens up valuable opportunities for content authors, particularly when it comes to boosting regional tourism and spotlighting lesser-visited areas. By designing tours that guide travelers across a variety of destinations, tourism stakeholders can bring attention to regions that otherwise remain unnoticed. These tours encourage tourists to broaden their itineraries, venturing beyond traditional hotspots to discover places that contribute to the cultural, historical, and natural richness of the country.

This, in turn, spreads tourism benefits across multiple areas, ensuring that economic gains aren’t restricted to just one location. Showcasing a thoughtfully planned route can motivate travelers to explore hidden gems, making their travel plans more fulfilling and rewarding for everyone involved. Additionally, by distributing visitor traffic more evenly and reducing pressure on overcrowded sites, these tours support [sustainable tourism](https://blog.smart-guide.org/en/eco-friendly-tourism-management-the-role-of-audio-guides-in-sustainable-tourism-practices?hsLang=en) and responsible travel practices.

Furthermore for content creators, offering country-wide tours means the ability to provide more comprehensive itineraries that cater to different traveler interests. Adventure seekers, road trip enthusiasts, and cultural travelers often look for broader routes that present a variety of landscapes, attractions, and historical sites. Expanding tours across a country can attract a wider audience, increasing engagement and potential revenue. By creating well-structured, thematic routes, content authors can make their offerings more appealing to both casual tourists and experienced explorers seeking something beyond the usual travel guides.
