MyDestination.com history

MyDestination.com began in 2006 as a project to map out tourist opportunities in Marbella by two students of Bath University. When Neil Waller and James Street couldn't find sufficient information online before taking a visit to the Spanish seaside resort, they decided to make a dedicated tourism portal for the city themselves.

After noticing that even some of the great cities in the world had insufficient information online they set out to fill this gap as quickly as possible. MyDestination.com then sought out locally based contributors in international locations, allowing users to find activities, attractions and culinary destinations well off the beaten path with our website. Today sites are being launched on an almost weekly basis and the growing number of local experts is a testament to the successful model that has been put in place.

MyDestination.com awards

The two young entrepreneurs have reached the finals of a number of major competitions such as Online Business of the Year in the StartUps Awards 2009, Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the GBA Awards 2009, winners of the UKFAST 'Travel' Digital Entrepreneur of the Year Awards 2009 and the 2010 UK Trade & Investment London Exporters Award. My Destination was also a Smarta100 2011 Winner, one of the 100 most resourceful, original , exciting and disruptive small businesses in the UK.
