Citytax, a European GovTech company based in Lithuania, is seeking technology, implementation and institutional partners to advance digital tourism governance across Europe.

Our Unified Tourism Ecosystem Modules (UTEM), including StayRadar and StayMetrics, support accommodation registration, short-term rental monitoring, tourism statistics, regulatory compliance, data interoperability and tourist tax management.

We are particularly interested in partnerships supporting Regulation (EU) 2024/1028, integration with existing national and regional tourism systems, destination intelligence and joint European innovation projects.

Citytax provides modular technology and technical expertise, while local partners contribute market knowledge, institutional relationships and implementation capabilities.

Organisation / Partnership

Citytax UAB is a Lithuanian GovTech company specialising in digital infrastructure for tourism governance, regulatory compliance and destination intelligence.

We develop the Unified Tourism Ecosystem Modules (UTEM), a modular technology platform designed to support public authorities, tourism organisations and other stakeholders in managing tourism-related processes and data.

Our technology ecosystem covers:

  • Accommodation registration and property identification.
  • Short-term rental monitoring and regulatory compliance.
  • Tourism statistics and accommodation data collection.
  • Tourist tax administration, reporting and payment integration.
  • Destination intelligence, analytics and data-driven decision-making.
  • Secure data exchange and interoperability between public authorities, accommodation providers and digital platforms.

Our solutions include StayRadar, supporting accommodation market monitoring and regulatory intelligence, and StayMetrics, providing tourism analytics, reporting and integration of external datasets through APIs.

Citytax is actively involved in tourism digitalisation initiatives in Ukraine, where UTEM has been deployed as part of ongoing cooperation with public-sector stakeholders.

Our partnership approach

We recognise that European countries and regions have different regulatory frameworks, administrative structures and existing digital systems.

Our objective is not to replace established national or regional solutions, but to complement and connect them through modular technology, interoperable services and secure data exchange.

We aim to build long-term partnerships supporting the European digital tourism transition, including the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 and the development of interoperable tourism data infrastructure.

Partnership Opportunity

Citytax is seeking European partners interested in introducing, implementing and supporting digital tourism governance solutions in their national and regional markets.

We are particularly interested in cooperation with:

  • GovTech companies and public-sector system integrators.
  • National and regional tourism authorities.
  • Destination management organisations.
  • Municipalities and regional administrations.
  • Tourism technology providers and digital transformation companies.
  • Research institutions, universities and innovation networks.
  • European project coordinators and consortium partners.

Our preferred partnership model combines Citytax’s existing technology and technical expertise with the local knowledge, institutional relationships and implementation capabilities of established partners.

Depending on the market and project requirements, cooperation may involve joint market development, technology integration, implementation services, commercial representation or participation in European innovation projects.

We are particularly interested in partners who already work with public administrations and understand national procurement procedures, regulatory requirements and public-sector digital infrastructure.

Our objective is to establish practical, mutually beneficial partnerships that can lead to pilot projects, long-term technology deployments and sustainable commercial cooperation.

Priority Cooperation Areas

1. Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 and Short-Term Rental Data Exchange

Cooperation on digital infrastructure supporting short-term accommodation rental registration, data collection and exchange, and regulatory monitoring in accordance with applicable European and national requirements.

2. Tourism Data Interoperability

Connecting existing national, regional and municipal tourism systems through secure APIs, standardised data models and interoperable services, without requiring the replacement of established infrastructure.

3. Accommodation Registration and Monitoring

Implementation of digital accommodation registration services, property identification, registration data management and monitoring capabilities.

4. Destination Intelligence and Tourism Analytics

Using StayRadar and StayMetrics to support accommodation market analysis, tourism statistics, destination monitoring and evidence-based policy decisions.

StayMetrics also supports the integration of external datasets through REST APIs, enabling authorities to combine tourism information with additional economic, geographic and statistical data.

5. Tourist Tax Digitalisation

Supporting public authorities in modernising tourist tax administration, reporting, payment integration, reconciliation and related digital processes.

6. European Research and Innovation Cooperation

Joint participation in European projects addressing tourism digitalisation, data spaces, regulatory technology, smart destinations, sustainable tourism and public-sector innovation.

7. Digital Skills and Knowledge Transfer

Cooperation on practical technology training, data literacy, digital governance and capacity building for tourism authorities and other stakeholders.

Planned Contribution of Citytax

Citytax can contribute an existing modular technology ecosystem, technical expertise and practical experience in developing digital solutions for tourism governance.

Our potential contributions include:

  • UTEM modules for accommodation registration, regulatory compliance, tourism statistics and tourist tax administration.
  • StayRadar capabilities for accommodation market monitoring and regulatory intelligence.
  • StayMetrics for tourism analytics, reporting and integration of external datasets.
  • API development and integration with existing national, regional and municipal information systems.
  • Software architecture, technical implementation and system integration expertise.
  • Technology adaptation to local regulatory and administrative requirements.
  • Technical support for demonstrations, pilot projects and production deployments.
  • Participation in joint European research, innovation and funding proposals.
  • Technical documentation, knowledge transfer and implementation support.

Citytax’s modular architecture allows partners to introduce individual capabilities according to local priorities, rather than requiring the deployment of an entire ecosystem.

Depending on the partnership structure, Citytax can act as a technology supplier, technical implementation partner, software licensing provider or technology consortium member.

We are open to defining responsibilities, commercial arrangements and long-term support models together with each partner.

Partners We Are Looking For

We welcome cooperation with organisations that have established relationships with tourism authorities, public administrations, regional development institutions or other relevant stakeholders.

Priority partner profiles include:

  • GovTech companies providing digital solutions to public administrations.
  • System integrators experienced in government IT infrastructure.
  • Tourism authorities and destination management organisations.
  • Public-sector digital transformation and consulting companies.
  • Regional development agencies and tourism associations.
  • Universities, applied research institutes and innovation organisations.
  • European project coordinators and funding consortium members.

Possible cooperation formats include:

  • Joint development of national and regional market opportunities.
  • Technology licensing, localisation and implementation.
  • Commercial partnerships and local representation.
  • Joint pilot projects with public authorities.
  • Integration with existing government and tourism platforms.
  • Participation in European funding consortia.
  • Joint research, innovation and technology demonstrations.
  • Long-term technical support and operational cooperation.

We are particularly interested in partners who can provide local market access, institutional expertise and implementation capacity, while Citytax contributes reusable technology and specialised technical knowledge.

Our approach is flexible and can be adapted to the regulatory, institutional and commercial conditions of individual markets.
