We've built several sites just like that with the Apostrophe CMS: http://apostrophenow.org/
Apostrophe is an open-source CMS powered by Node, MongoDB, and of course JavaScript on the browser side as well. We created it because we wanted to take the good ideas from our previous PHP-based incarnation of Apostrophe and apply them in a better, faster framework like Node. Check out these tourism-related sites we built with it: http://phillyfunguide.com/ http://www.delawareriverwaterfront.com/ These all take heavy local tourism traffic without any problem. We've built a lot more but these examples are the most similar to what you are doing I think. Apostrophe uses Mongodb and Express. It doesn't use Angular - we generate frontend pages with the Nunjucks templating language and a lighter JavaScript idiom of our own - but you can use it for your own components if you want to. Our existing map module would take you a long way toward finishing your project I suspect.
