What Is a Digital Passport?

A digital passport is an online experience that lets travelers collect stamps, complete challenges, and unlock rewards as they explore a destination. Unlike printed coupons or paper maps, it lives in the browser — making it easy to update, track, and share.

With platforms like YouShould.app, destinations can design digital passports that highlight local attractions, encourage exploration, and capture real-time visitor data — all without requiring an app download.
