How it works

  • CONTACT US

    We only work with people who share our enthusiasm for the South Coast, putting the guest experience above all else. Reach out to us and we’ll arrange a kick-starter conversation to find out a bit more about what you do. If your business is a match, we’ll get you set up with a page on our site.

  • CONNECT WITH VISITORS

    We turn enquiries into experiences. We can either act as the middle man, curating experiences and liaising between you and the guest, or we can send them straight to you. Both options are completely commission free.

  • COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS

    You can reach out to other SCx members to share tips, swap numbers and combine forces. Many of our accommodation listings are looking for experience providers, and vice versa, so start the conversation, safe in the knowledge they share your same high.

  • CULTIVATE YOUR BUSINESS

    Look out for our emails and social posts, where we’ll share the latest marketing expertise to help your business grow. You’ll also have exclusive access to offers and discounts for activities and events in the region, so you too can have great South.
