Walking, transit, and drive-time analysis.
Multi-modal isochrones for 'hotels within a 10-minute walk of the convention center' or 'rentals within 30 minutes of the airport', built on real network data for each travel mode.
Multi-stop itinerary routing.
Multi-day, multi-stop routing for tour operators, group travel, and trip planners, built to sequence experiences, not just addresses.
Why travel and hospitality teams choose MapQuest
Pricing built for the volume travel platforms actually serve.
Property search, map tiles, and POI lookups don't run a few API calls per session, they run hundreds across millions of monthly travelers, and they spike on holiday booking weekends. Per-tile and per-call pricing breaks the unit economics. Our pricing is built for it.
Map UX travelers expect.
Branded basemaps, walking-time overlays, transit layers, and itinerary maps, the spatial primitives travelers compare when they book, available as first-class APIs.
A real partner, not a portal.
Travel and hospitality teams get dedicated technical support and account management. When map traffic degrades during a holiday booking weekend, there's a human on the other end.
What we've learned working with travel and hospitality platforms
Tile volume hides in property search.
Listing pages look text-first, but the map stack still runs on every pan, zoom, and neighborhood check. The platforms we work with that reconcile tile volume against conversion funnels usually find the budget leak in property search, not on the homepage.
Walk time beats radius for what is actually around the hotel.
Straight-line radii around a pin miss the river, the freeway, and the one-way loop, and they mis-rank restaurants that are close as the crow flies but useless on foot. Travelers notice when the nearby POIs match how they'd actually walk there.
Itineraries break when the route treats stops as a list.
Group tours and multi-day trips need sequencing, windows, and slack between venues, not a shortest-path line through addresses. The operators we work with that model legs and dwell time catch fewer day-of breakdowns.

Common questions from travel and hospitality teams
How does pricing compare to Google Maps Platform, Mapbox, or HERE for high-volume map tiles and POI search?
Travel and hospitality platforms hit per-tile and per-call pricing walls fast, especially after recent Google Maps Platform price changes. Our model is volume-based, designed for the call patterns booking and discovery sites actually run. Talk to sales for a per-thousand-session TCO comparison against your current bill.
Can we style maps and locators to match our brand?
Yes. Custom basemap styling, branded markers, and brand-controlled color palettes are first-class. Most travel and hospitality customers ship a fully branded map experience without giving up performance.
Do you support walking, transit, and drive-time modes in the same request surface?
Yes. Multi-modal routing and isochrones are available for walking, driving, and transit where data is licensed for your market. Talk to sales for coverage-by-region detail.
How quickly can we get started?
API keys same day. Most travel and hospitality teams have map tiles and a sample property search running in a staging environment within two weeks, with production traffic in four to six.
