26 Best Travel Affiliate Programs for 2024 (Based on Data)

This year my travel blog has generated over $50,000 in revenue from affiliate marketing alone. And it's only August!

Here's a peek at what it's looked like so far this year:

What's more, this travel blog earns twice as much through affiliate marketing than it does from display ads with Mediavine.

So in case you're wondering, YES, you can still do great as a travel affiliate today. It all comes down to writing the right type of content that fits into the "buying phase" of the trip-planning process.

Want to learn more? In this post I'm going to share:

• The most profitable affiliate programs for travel bloggers
• Tips for promoting different types of travel products and services
• Common mistakes travel bloggers make when monetizing their websites

But first, a quick note how I created this list (so you know it's legit).

How we compiled this list of programs

We compiled a list of roughly 50 top travel blogs . This include mainstays like Nomadic Matt , Santorini Dave , and Expert Vagabond . Plus, smaller and niche sites focusing on specific destinations, geographies, and activities to add in some variety.

Then, we ran each site through our Affiliate Link Scanner to discover which affiliate programs and merchants they linked to the most.

(Because after all, if someone creates 10 articles about a single product, there's a very good chance it's converting for them.)

Finally, we grouped together the programs by common categories, like accommodation, tours, and insurance, so it'd be easier for you to navigate.

The result is a list of the best travel affiliate programs for bloggers — all based on what the world's best travel blogs are promoting today. So, here it is.

Travel Affiliate Programs

These travel affiliate programs fall into a couple of main categories: hotel affiliate programs , travel tours affiliate programs, outdoor gear affiliate programs , luxury travel affiliate programs, rental car affiliate programs , train and airline affiliate programs , and travel insurance affiliate programs.

A mouthful, I know — but exactly which products you choose will depend on the kind of content you like to write and who your audience is.

Here are the best travel affiliate programs to promote in 2024:

• Booking.com affiliate program
• Viator affiliate program
• FareHarbor affiliate program
• GetYourGuide affiliate program
• RentalCars.com affiliate program
• Discover Cars affiliate program
• Klook affiliate program
• Plum Guide affiliate program
• Outdoorsy affiliate program
• RVShare affiliate program
• Skyscanner affiliate program
• Momondo affiliate program
• KAYAK affiliate program
• HostelWorld affiliate program
• Interrail Pass / Eurail Pass affiliate program
• REI affiliate program
• TripAdvisor affiliate program
• G Adventures affiliate program
• Intrepid Travel affiliate program
• CityPASS affiliate program
• Priority Pass affiliate program
• World Nomads affiliate program
• SafetyWing affiliate program
• Wise (formerly Transferwise) affiliate program
• Omio affiliate program
• Ferryhopper affiliate program

Booking.com

• Program name: Booking.com Affiliate Program
• Commission: 25-34% of Booking.com's cut (Booking.com), 4% of gross sale amount (CJ Affiliate)
• Cookie duration: 0 days
• Markets: Global

Booking.com is the single most popular travel affiliate program from all our research across dozens of top travel blogs.

And for good reason: hotels are extremely profitable. First off, they're expensive at around $100 per night in a lot of destination. And then, people tend to book multiple nights in a single session.

The result is great commissions, so long as you're writing content that captures people right before they book.

What you'll notice as a hotel affiliate is a high cancelation rate, sometimes as high as 30-40%. It's hard to avoid, as free cancelation policies virtually encourage this. Even so, the profits to be made are still exceptional.

One unusual aspect of Booking.com is that it doesn't use an actual cookie. You only get credit for Bookings that happen "in-session". So you'll want to target people who are minutes away from booking accommodation to secure a sale.

Despite the drawbacks, Booking.com has such name recognition and converts well enough to make it one of the best travel affiliate programs you can promote.

Hotel affiliate tips: Here are a few of my top tips for recommending hotels and accommodation to your travel blog readers as an affiliate:

• Make your recommendation early. Don't make the mistake of putting your recommended hotel links at the bottom of your posts. Summarize your recommended place to stay at the top in a "Trip Summary" with scannable bullet points.
• Make your recommendation clear. If you loved somewhere you stayed, make it clear. 1-2 sentences are enough to earn the click if your recommendation is genuine.
• Test your link text. Try calls-to-action like "check availability" and "see more images". These demand less commitment from the reader than "book now". But no matter what, you should be tracking and testing these to see which converts best for your audience.

One important note for new affiliates is that Booking.com does require you reach a minimum of 100€ in commissions before they pay you out. Given the average commission though, most travel affiliates will be able to reach this in a reasonable amount of time.

You also only earn a commission after a booking is completed and the host or hotel has reported a successful stay. That means your commissions are often only paid many months after the booking happens.

While the money with Booking.com isn't quick, the payouts are dependable and the revenue from a high season's worth of bookings can set you up for a good part of the year.

• Program name: Viator Affiliate Program
• Commission: 8% (Viator), 4% (ShareASale)
• Cookie duration: 30 days
• Alternatives: GetYourGuide at 8% and up (GetYourGuide), 5% (Skimlinks), 7% base (Awin), 7% (CJ Affiliate) , or Klook at 2-5%

Viator is an online platform for booking travel tours, experiences, and activities. While GetYourGuide could be seen as more present in Europe, Viator has an excellent selection of activities in the United States and Canada.

So if your focus is on domestic tourism within North America, this could be a great affiliate program for your travel blog.

Viator's direct program offers an 8% base commission rate. Paired with the 30-day cookie period, and your reader has a lot of time after clicking your link to go through with booking their travel experience.

To make the most from Viator, make sure that tours you promote have great reviews, ratings, and photos. If you can add your own into the article itself and share a personal experience, that's a recipe for a strong conversion rate.

• Program name: FareHarbor Affiliate Program
• Network / Software: FareHarbor Distribution Network
• Commission: 15% on the ticket price, 75% of FareHarbor's cut
• Cookie duration: Not listed
• Markets: US, CA, EU

FareHarbor, a Booking Holdings company, is the leading booking platform for tour and activity operators worldwide, with its largest presence in North America and Europe.

FareHarbor has its own affiliate network — the FareHarbor Distribution Network (FHDN). It directly connects 30,000 guided tours, outdoor activities, and other experience providers with affiliates like you - with no middleman to share commission with.

You can earn a commission rate as high as 15% (one of the highest in the industry!) for an average basket value of $100-$150.

Commissions are paid for bookings made "in-session"; so there is no cookie window, but research has shown that most activity bookings happen while bookers are already in-destination.

Within its affiliate network, FareHarbor also offers the possibility to connect with account managers who provide insights and suggestions of the best tours to feature on your website, answer questions, and automates the invoicing and payment process.

GetYourGuide

• Program name: GetYourGuide Affiliate Program
• Commission: 8% and up (GetYourGuide), 5% (Skimlinks), 7% base (Awin), 7% (CJ Affiliate)
• Cookie duration: 31 days (GetYourGuide), Not listed (Skimlinks), 30 days (Awin, CJ Affiliate)
• Markets: Global (GetYourGuide), Global (Skimlinks), US (Awin), US, FR, DE, UK (CJ Affiliate)
• Alternatives: Viator at 8% (Viator), 4% (ShareASale) , or Klook at 2-5%

GetYourGuide is a place to book travel experiences and activities online. Think guided tours, boat rides, skip-the-line tickets, city guides, and group tours large and small.

In addition to working with local tour operators, GetYourGuide also has their own Originals series of tours they run themselves. These tours are based the massive amount of data they have about the kinds of activities people like best.

GetYourGuide offers an 8% base commission rate through their direct program, though successful affiliates can negotiate for rates as high as 10 and 12%.

Paired with a 30-day cookie period, the rates are favorable for landing commissions. Especially if you cover Europe on your travel blog, since the selection on GetYourGuide is great.

The key is to promote these activities in the right kind of content, at the moment when people are most likely to book. Here are some tips on that.

Tips for promoting travel tours as an affiliate: Link to tours on articles about things to do in a city, itineraries, day trips from a city, how to reach a place, food tours, or guides to a location-specific activities or bucketlist experiences.

One thing to consider is that people browsing "things to do" posts tend to fall into two camps: people who are dreaming of a destination and people who are already there.

As such, these kind of posts can result in good revenue for affiliates, but have a lower affiliate RPM because the traffic intent is split between far future planning and immediate booking.

RentalCars.com

• Program name: RentalCars.com Affiliate Program
• Commission: 40% of RentalCar.com's cut (RentalCars.com), 6% of sales (CJ Affiliate)
• Cookie duration: 0 days (RentalCars.com), 30 days (CJ Affiliate)
• Alternatives: Discover Cars at 70% of rental car profit, 30% on Full Coverage insurance revenue (Post Affiliate Pro), 54% of rental car profit, 23% on Full Coverage insurance revenue (ShareASale)

RentalCars.com is a great example of how much of an opportunity transportation is a big opportunity for travel blogger affiliates.

As one of the biggest rental car comparison websites online, RentalCars.com has got great brand recognition and overall does prove to have some solid deals.

If you tend to do road trips or just prefer to socially distance from your fellow travelers, rental car affiliate programs are a great addition to your travel content.

The two main rental car affiliate programs we found in our analysis were RentalCars.com and Discover Cars (also in this guide). Depending on your audience, one or the other might convert better, so it's worth testing each.

Tips for promoting rental cars: Obviously, it works best to promote rental cars for places where you might like to have a car to get around, and parking isn't too terrible. Think road trips, regional trips, and destinations where people are likely to visit multiple towns or cities in a single trip.

The longer the person's trip is, the more commission you earn. So thinking about destinations where people tend to spend a longer amount of time driving around is helpful.

Discover Cars

• Program name: Discover Cars Affiliate Program
• Commission: 70% of rental car profit, 30% on Full Coverage insurance revenue (Post Affiliate Pro), 54% of rental car profit, 23% on Full Coverage insurance revenue (ShareASale)
• Cookie duration: 365 days
• Alternatives: RentalCars.com at 40% of RentalCar.com's cut (RentalCars.com), 6% of sales (CJ Affiliate)

Discover Cars is a brand I wasn't familiar with until compiling the data for this article. But then I saw it everywhere.

Their merchant page on ShareASale got my attention:

"We partner with some of the top webmasters in the travel vertical who are earning on average $2,500 USD per month with a traffic of 100K."

This means average commissions vary from $20-$50 per sale, and with a super generous 1-year cookie. With affiliate commissions like that, it's easy to imagine that adding some car rental links to your existing content could be pretty profitable.

You may find it interesting to try out both RentalCars.com and Discover Cars and see which one converts better for your readers.

• Program name: Klook Affiliate Program
• Commission: 2-5%
• Alternatives: GetYourGuide at 8% and up (GetYourGuide), 5% (Skimlinks), 7% base (Awin), 7% (CJ Affiliate) , or Viator at 8% (Viator), 4% (ShareASale)

Klook is a Hong Kong-based travel tours and experience platform. As such, we found Klook promoted most on blogs that focus on Asian countries like Japan, Korea, Singapore, China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

With that said, since the pandemic and the turndown of international tourism in Asia, Klook has doubled down on Europe and North America as target markets. So you'll want to test promoting similar activities between Klook, Viator, and GetYourGuide to see which resonates most with your audience.

Right on the bottom of their homepage, you can see a pretty clear list of their top performing activities and tours.

Let this inspire you on the type of content to create as a travel affiliate:

Apart from tours and activities, Klook is also a reseller of train tickets, WiFi rentals, and Sim cards. Especially if your readers are traveling to a country in Asia for the first time, there are probably a number of products and conveniences you can help them discover through Klook.

• Program name: Plum Guide Affiliate Program
• Commission: 7-10%
• Cookie duration: 90 days
• Markets: AU, CA, ES, UK, US

Plum Guide is like a fancier version of Airbnb, where stays start at 139€ and go up from there. They select the top 1% of properties in a few of the most popular vacation destinations, like London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Milan, Copenhagen, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Berlin and Tel Aviv.

So while the properties on Plum Guide might be too expensive for the average traveler, the bookings you can make through this program tend to be on the higher end if they go through.

On top of that, the generous 90-day cookie period means you have a lot of time for the guest to actually book their stay after they start their research process on your website.

If you cater to luxury travellers, Plum Guide could be a good addition to the hotel affiliate programs you're already promoting.

• Program name: Outdoorsy Affiliate Program
• Commission: $60.00 or more per booking
• Markets: US, CA (AvantLink), US, CA (CJ Affiliate), US, CA (Tune (HasOffers))
• Alternatives: RVShare at 5% for each stay, $7.00 for each new RV listed (CJ Affiliate), 6.4% for each stay, $7.00 for each new RV listed (FlexOffers) , or Camping World at 4% commission

Who wants to take bets that RVing, renting camper vans, and hitting the road is going to be the most popular travel activities next Summer?

While hotels are some of the most lucrative affiliate programs for travel bloggers , RVs and camper vans take their place when it comes to destinations popular for their natural beauty.

Think about national parks and places famous for their camping and wildlife.

Apart from the solid commissions at $60+ per booking, Outdoorsy is available in both the US and Canada. So if you're outdoors activities in North America, there's a good chance you'll be covered.

Look no further than the Outdoorsy homepage for a roadmap (ha!) to their most popular places to rent an RV:

The great commissions and cookie period make this an excellent affiliate program for both travel and outdoors-focused websites.

You will need to reach $100 in earnings to trigger a payout from AvantLink, CJ, or Tune (formerly HasOffers). But with these commissions, that shouldn't be an issue.

• Program name: RVShare Affiliate Program
• Commission: 5% for each stay, $7.00 for each new RV listed (CJ Affiliate), 6.4% for each stay, $7.00 for each new RV listed (FlexOffers)
• Cookie duration: 30 days (CJ Affiliate), 45 days (FlexOffers)
• Markets: US
• Alternatives: Outdoorsy at $60.00 or more per booking , or Camping World at 4% commission

RVShare is an RV marketplace where both RV owners and those looking to rent can connect. It includes a range of vehicles from pop-ups to luxury motor homes.

With an average order value of $699, according to the program landing page, that means an average commission of about $34.95. Not bad at all, but not nearly as good as Outdoorsy , assuming a comparable conversion rate.

Still an extremely solid option if you need to promote RV or van rentals in places Outdoorsy doesn't cover. At least, as the homepage claims, it is the largest RV rental marketplace.

Similar to Outdoorsy, popular destinations are plastered right on the homepage:

Take any of these for inspiration on the types of destinations that people tend to visit by RV, and you'll be ahead of the curve.

• Program name: Skyscanner Affiliate Program
• Commission: 20% Direct and booking

Skyscanner is a metasearch engine and travel agency based out of Scotland with average site visits of over 100 million people per month. The site specializes in helping travelers search, choose, and book from a wide variety of flight, hotel, and car hire deals from over 1,200 travel providers. The website is also available in 35 languages across 60 countries.

Skyscanner is an easy sell, given its brand recognition and how trusted it is among regular travelers. The company’s airline affiliate program currently provides commissions on sales of flights and hotel bookings. The pay-outs are a share of the commissions offered to Skyscanner by their travel partners. Expect to earn in the region of 20% commissions for bookings.

You have three different ways to sell Skyscanner’s products:

• Embed widgets on your website.
• Use the company’s text links or banners or generate your own unique referral link.
• Create an innovative travel website or app by connecting to Skyscanner’s Flights API.

Overall, Skyscanner is a reliable choice for travel deals and a superior inventory of travel products.

• Program name: Momondo Affiliate Program
• Commission: $0.06-$0.60 per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (CJ Affiliate), $0.09-$0.87 per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (CJ Affiliate), $0.45 per click out for desktop and tablet, $0.65 per click out for mobile (Webgains), 0.05-0.46% per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (FlexOffers), $0.07-$0.66 per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (FlexOffers), A$0.38-A$0.83 (Skimlinks), (Skimlinks), (Sovrn)
• Markets: CA (CJ Affiliate), US (CJ Affiliate), Global (Webgains), CA (FlexOffers), US (FlexOffers), AU (Skimlinks), Global (Skimlinks), Global (Sovrn)

Momondo is a travel fare metasearch engine and aggregator owned by KAYAK. Similar to KAYAK, Momondo searches and displays cheap fares for tickets, stays, car rentals, and experiences.

The good news about Momondo’s affiliate program is that they’re open to even smaller blogs. So, if you’re just starting out as an affiliate, this might be a great opportunity. They’re open to content sites, established travel sites, and even email as long as the email content has been pre-approved by the company.

All you need to do is sign up on any of the associate affiliate network partners, receive your link and embed it to your website. You have the potential to earn US$0.65 per click on desktops and tablets and US$0.45 per click on mobile searches. Right now, the affiliate product is available for flights only. Also, reach out to the brand directly for additional support and exclusive deals if you have more than 200,000 unique site visitors a month.

• Program name: KAYAK Affiliate Program
• Commission: 0-50% (KAYAK), $0.08-$1.90 per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (CJ Affiliate), £0.11-£0.33 per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (CJ Affiliate), $0.08-$0.66 per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (CJ Affiliate), $0.07-$0.61 per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (FlexOffers), 0.06-0.83% per sale depending on the types of product and clickout (desktop, mobile) (FlexOffers), £0.28 per click on flights, hotel and car searches (TradeTracker)
• Cookie duration: Not listed (KAYAK, CJ Affiliate, FlexOffers, TradeTracker), 30 days (CJ Affiliate, FlexOffers)
• Markets: Global (KAYAK), US (CJ Affiliate), UK (CJ Affiliate), CA (CJ Affiliate), CA (FlexOffers), US (FlexOffers), CH, DE, ES, FR, IT, NL, PL, UK (TradeTracker)

KAYAK is a popular metasearch engine and online travel agency from the United States. The company offers a wide range of travel products, including flights, stays, car rentals, and experiences. From a branding perspective, the KAYAK website accounts for more than 6 million searches annually, and affiliates have already earned over US$76 million in sales.

• Track your earnings and performance on your very own affiliate portal.

Sign up to the KAYAK affiliate network directly on their website. Alternatively, you’ll also find the affiliate program listed on CJ Affiliate, FlexOffers, and TradeTracker.

HostelWorld

• Program name: HostelWorld Affiliate Program
• Commission: 18-22%
• Alternatives: Booking.com at 25-34% of Booking.com's cut (Booking.com), 4% of gross sale amount (CJ Affiliate)

Got a budget-conscious audience? HostelWorld is a great alternative to Booking.com if your readers are college students, young people, or generally looking to travel long-term on a shoestring budget.

It's been a pretty long time since I stayed in a hostel, so I don't promote hostels myself. However, in our research we found tons of links to HostelWorld on top travel blogs and websites.

And even if you're not into hostels, HostelWorld seems to be branching out into the suddenly crowded market for travel experiences.

Tips for promoting hostels: Most people staying in hostels are doing it for budget-conscious reasons. So promote hostels in content targeting a younger demographic (such as college students).

Interrail Pass / Eurail Pass

• Program name: Interrail Pass / Eurail Pass Affiliate Program
• Commission: 3%
• Alternatives: Omio at 2-8% depending on customer country

Eurail is a rail pass which permits travel through 33 European countries by train. It gives travelers unrivaled flexibility. If you miss a train, in most cases you can simply hop on board the next one.

You also save the hassle of booking train tickets in advance, though in most cases you still have to make a reservation with a small 10-20€ surcharge for high-speed and night trains.

Eurail have both multi-day and multi-country passes that travelers can tailor to their journey. Travelers can also choose a single-country pass, in case they want to just travel one country extensively by train.

Interrail is basically the same thing but designed for European residents.

Either way, you can earn a 3% commission. And with an average order value of £298.27 ($408.85), this could mean an average commission around $12.

• Program name: REI Affiliate Program
• Commission: 5%
• Cookie duration: 15 days
• Brands: Arc'teryx, Black Diamond, Columbia, Merrel, Mountain Hardwear, Osprey, Outdoor Research, Patagonia, prAna, REI Co-op, Salomon, Shimano, and Smartwool.
• Alternatives: Patagonia at 8% , or Osprey at 8%

REI is the most promoted affiliate program for outdoor gear after Amazon, according to our analysis.

It's not exactly a surprise, as REI is a trusted name with a lot of brand loyalty behind it. They offer a wide range of products from camping and hiking gear to gear for climbing, cycling, kayaking, running, snow sports, and more.

REI is a perfect brand to promote whether your website is focused on travel, nature, outdoors, or sports.

The tricky part is that AvantLink and REI are particular about who they accept into their program. So you'll need to apply with an established website for a chance to get accepted.

REI offers over 200 articles from popular brands like Arc'teryx, Black Diamond, Columbia, and Patagonia.

So if you're able to get in, those brand pages are a great place to start for insights into REI's most popular and high-converting products and product categories.

TripAdvisor

• Program name: TripAdvisor Affiliate Program
• Commission: 50% of click out (CJ Affiliate), 16% of the revenue generated when users click on commerce links and/or ads throughout the TripAdvisor site (FlexOffers)
• Cookie duration: 14 days (CJ Affiliate), 1 days (FlexOffers)

TripAdvisor is one of the most popular trip-planning websites online. On TripAdvisor, you can link to restaurants, attractions, and accommodation.

Basically, the TripAdvisor affiliate program shares revenue with affiliates based on leads, rather than sales. That means you'll generate many more, smaller commissions (think, $0.20 - $0.50 in most cases) than you would if you linked directly to the accommodation providers that TripAdvisor partners with.

But it's important to know that you'll only generate affiliate revenue if the click you send to TripAdvisor results in a click out to a hotel property. No other type of click out generates a commission for you.

Whether or not this is a good strategy for you heavily depends on the type of content you're writing. For content that's early in the trip-planning journey, this could make sense. But there you're still hoping to get lucky, as opposed to being intentional about the kind of content and links you're promoting.

If you're writing guides designed for people who are actively booking their stay, promoting hotels through Booking.com, Agoda, or Hotels.com will likely prove more profitable.

G Adventures

• Program name: G Adventures Affiliate Program

Whereas GetYourGuide, Klook, and Voyagin are all tour companies, G Adventures focused on multi-day, small-group tours that rack up a big price tag — and resulting commission.

According to their FAQs, G Adventures' average order value is $2,600. At a 6% commission, that's $156 per sale on average.

Naturally, buying a tour like this is a much longer decision-making process. Luckily G Adventures also gives its affiliates a generous 90-day cookie window.

This makes it a great option if you're able to capture a reader's email address and send them a travel guide on the location, and following up with a couple emails about this tour. Sometimes these tours also have sales, too.

Tips for promoting small group, multi-day tours: Focus on destinations that may be more difficult to reach individually, or organized cross-country tours for Americans visiting Europe.

You'll notice their website features destinations like Machu Pichu, which can be complicated to reach on your own. Same story for places where travelers may not feel confident driving themselves.

In our research, we noticed both G Adventures and Intrepid Travel being promoted most heavily on South and Central America-focused travel websites.

Intrepid Travel

• Program name: Intrepid Travel Affiliate Program
• Commission: 4% on sales, $0.50 per lead
• Markets: US, CA, EU, UK
• Alternatives: G Adventures at 5%

Intrepid Travel is an alternative to consider for a lot of the same destinations as G Adventures. They cater primarily to North American and European travelers going to places in South and Central America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Here are some examples of the types of trips you'll find on Intrepid Travel:

Similar to G Adventures, they also sometimes have sales, which you can share with your email list or promote on relevant pages on your travel blog.

Again, focus on destinations that can be complicated or difficult to reach without a tour. Or locations where people might feel more safe or comfortable traveling in a small group, like the ones Intrepid Travel offers.

• Program name: CityPASS Affiliate Program
• Commission: 6%

Are you promoting large US or Canadian cities on your travel blog as an affiliate? CityPASS could be a great addition to help your audience access deals and attractions with a single purchase.

CityPASS tickets tend to include attractions like SeaWorld, Legoland, zoos, museums, cruises and more. We found them promoted most often on family travel websites, probably because dealing with tickets can be a pain if you've got kids in tow.

The top destinations mentioned on the CityPASS homepage include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Southern California, Tampa Bay, and Toronto.

You can easily include CityPASS links near any of the attractions in "things to do" guides that you're recommending anyway.

Of note, other online travel agencies like GetYourGuide, Klook, and Viator also often have passes to these types of attractions. So it's worth testing out which leads to a higher affiliate RPM for your article.

Priority Pass

• Program name: Priority Pass Affiliate Program
• Commission: 10% (ShareASale), 10% (Pepperjam)

Got an audience of luxury, business, or just frequent travelers? Priority Pass is membership that gives pass-owners access to over 1300 comfortable airport lounges around the world.

Most memberships are offered on an annual basis, and range from $89-$359 per year when discounted. At a 10% commission rate, that's $8.90-$35.90 per conversion which is definitely respectable on the upper end.

Note: On ShareASale they'll give you a 15% commission for the first month, but in all liklihood it'll take you long enough to figure out the best ways to promote the PriorityPass that you won't earn a ton during that time period.

World Nomads

• Program name: World Nomads Affiliate Program
• Network / Software: Direct
• Commission: 10%
• Cookie duration: 60 days
• Alternatives: SafetyWing at 10%

One of the big benefits of travel insurance affiliate programs is you can include them in a wide range of existing content.

The downside is, trying to rank for most terms including the word "insurance" is probably not going to be easy.

While collecting our data, we noticed that a fair number of big name travel blogs include links out to travel insurance on almost 100% of their long-form content. If you've got a common footer at the end of your articles, this might be a good spot to include a link to World Nomads.

Think about destinations where safety is a concern, and share any personal experiences you may have with claiming insurance.

Including an "Is [City Name] Safe" section in existing travel guides and itineraries is a good way to start.

• Program name: SafetyWing Affiliate Program
• Alternatives: World Nomads at 10%

One of the most popular alternatives to World Nomads is SafetyWing. As opposed to being just focused on travel insurance, SafetyWing also offers insurance for full-time nomads and is among the first companies to do so.

As an "Ambassador", you can promote both the Nomad Insurance and the Remote Health insurance at a rate of 10%.

The difference is, Remote Health is a 12-month policy that gets paid out in installments. So you can actually continue to earn for each month that the person you referred remains insured (which they're obligated to do by contract).

Here's an example from the website:

A pretty excellent payout for just 10 referrals per year.

Wise (formerly Transferwise)

• Program name: Wise (formerly Transferwise) Affiliate Program
• Commission: £10.00 for personal users, £50.00 for business users
• Cookie duration: Forever

Wise (formerly Transferwise) is a bank account that makes it cheap and fast to transfer money between countries. They offer a so-called "Borderless" account, which is bank account that allows you to hold balances in different currencies.

Fun fact, I'm a Wise user myself and have found it really useful to be able to accept affiliate payouts in various currencies, and then pay bills in the currency they're owed in, instead of losing money to currency conversion in between!

Wise is a handy product for anyone who travels internationally. Digital nomads, frequent travelers, and people doing international business are all great candidates to refer to Wise.

Commissions are a flat rate and will vary a bit depending on what your payout currency is. For the UK program, it's £10 for personal users, and £50 for business users.

Note that you only get paid for funded accounts, not just signups. But thanks to the "forever" cookie, you'll get credit for any account you refer that gets funded no matter how long it takes them to do it.

• Program name: Omio Affiliate Program
• Commission: 2-8% depending on customer country
• Alternatives: Interrail Pass / Eurail Pass at 3%

Omio is a one-stop-shop for booking transportation. Trains, busses, flights, and ferries can all be found on Omio's website.

So if you're explaining to readers how to reach a specific location on your travel blog (for example, "Paris to Versailles"), the Omio affiliate program could be an easy plug when it comes to trains, busses, and flights.

Just be aware that there are transportation affiliate programs which may perform better. For example, car rentals and travel tours both tend to offer higher percentage commissions on a similar order value.

But for good measure, offering several options and then measuring which ones drive clicks and conversions is always your best bet.

Ferryhopper

• Program name: Ferryhopper Affiliate Program
• Commission: 1% gross booking value

Ferryhopper is a service that lets you book ferry transportation between the Greek Islands. Unlike a lot of other providers, they don't put an extra service charge on top, so you know your readers are genuinely getting the best deal.

That said, the base commission rate of 1% isn't super high. Considering most ferries are pretty affordable when booked in advance, this isn't likely to be the backbone of your travel blog's affiliate income.

But we did see this heavily promoted on a number of Greece-focused travel websites. So if that's a region you're covering, consider adding some content about ferries to the mix.

• The Ultimate Guide to Affiliate Marketing
• How to Learn SEO
• How to Create an Effective SEO Strategy
• How to Conduct Keyword Research (+ a Free Tool )
• How to Get High Quality Backlinks

Implementing what you learn can help your travel website or blog rank higher and drive more qualified traffic. This means more bookings and commissions earned.

Top Travel Affiliate Programs

Below we’ve laid out and broken down 14 of the best programs – from luxury travel affiliate programs to car rental services – to help you choose the best one.

• Expedia Group
• Booking.com
• Tripadvisor
• G Adventures
• GetYourGuide
• Discover Cars
• Hostelworld
• Travelpayouts
• World Nomads

1. Expedia Group

• Niche: General travel, including accommodation, activities, car rentals, flights and cruise lines
• Commission rate: Up to 6%
• Cookie duration: 7 days
• URL to join: Expedia Group Affiliate Program
• Perks: Tools to help affiliates
• Cons: Doesn’t pay on canceled bookings; Only pays out when customer’s trip is complete

Even if you’re not in the travel niche, you’ve probably heard of Expedia. It is one of the biggest travel brands in the world. Expedia has access to over 3 million properties, 500 airlines, 1000s of car rentals, and more than 220k activities.

It’s also one of our favorite programs because of the high conversion rates thanks to the popularity of the brand name.

And you can be a part of it.

We found the signup process very easy. All you have to do is sign up for the program to get access to the affiliate platform as well as helpful tools to market your links. These include:

• The Creator Toolbox
• Trackable links
• Search widgets
• Data to track your performance

By driving traffic to Expedia Group’s site from your own website or social media platforms, you can earn commissions on every qualifying booking made through your links.

It might not be the best commission rate on offer, but Expedia is a reliable name and a trusted brand.

2. Booking.com

• Niche: General travel, including accommodation, flights, car rentals, and attractions
• Commission rate: 25 – 40% of Booking.com’s commission
• Cookie duration: Session-based
• URL to join: Booking.com Affiliate Partner Centre
• Perks: A trusted brand name and promotional tools
• Cons: Payouts only after $109

Booking.com is most people’s one-stop shop for all things travel. It is commonly used for accommodation, but it also offers flights, attractions, car rentals, and airport taxi options.

With more than 28 million accommodation listings in 60,000 locations, it’s safe to say Booking.com is popular.

It’s no surprise that Booking.com also runs one of the most popular travel affiliate programs.

Their affiliate program is mainly aimed at bloggers and travel influencers. But, anyone with a website can use their affiliate links to earn some extra income.

Booking.com offers up to 40% commission for all confirmed stays, depending on how many bookings you refer per month.

This commission structure can be a bit confusing. Here’s a breakdown:

So, you’re not earning 25% of the booking fee. Instead, you’re earning 25% of Booking.com’s commission on the booking fee.

Let’s say someone booked a hotel room costing $200 via your Booking.com link. Booking.com usually takes a 20% commission, meaning they earn $40 from the booking. You’ll then get 25% of that $40 – a solid $10.

That’s not bad if you can get a couple of bookings each month.

And we am not just grabbing these figures out of the air – this is exactly what happened to us, which is why we rate this affiliate program so highly.

Affiliate marketers also get access to some handy promotional tools, including:

• Deals finder

3. Tripadvisor

• Niche: General travel, including accommodation and activities
• Commission rate: 50% of Tripadvisor’s commission
• Cookie duration: 14 days
• URL to join: Tripadvisor Affiliate Program
• Perks: Links, including text links, logos, buttons, banners, badges and widgets
• Cons: Only commissions on hotel bookings

Sure, Tripadvisor is mainly the place you go to to read reviews. With over a billion reviews on the site, there’s a good reason why.

But, you can also use the portal to make activity or hotel bookings.

Accommodation is the main focus of the Tripadvisor affiliate program. When someone visits a hotel’s website through your affiliate link, you get 50% of Tripadvisor’s commission (similar to how the Booking.com affiliate program works).

However, Tripadvisor doesn’t pay any commission on restaurants, activities, or flights.

But, if you happen to get clicks during incentive campaigns (when Tripadvisor pushes certain products), your commission can be as high as 80%!

What makes Tripadvisor one of the best affiliate programs is that no actual booking is required . Yep. As soon as a user is sent from your site to Tripadvisor, and clicks to a booking partner, you’ll earn money.

You can join the Tripadvisor affiliate program through the Commission Junction Affiliate Network – just sign up and search for Tripadvisor. Easy!

• Niche: Activities
• Commission rate: 8% on completed experiences
• Cookie duration: 30 days
• URL to join: Viator Travel Affiliate Program
• Perks: Weekly payouts (PayPal); Useful affiliate tools, including links, widgets, and banners
• Cons: For bank transfers, there’s a minimum $50 threshold

Viator’s affiliate program is aimed at anyone who loves traveling. Whether you’re a travel blog owner, provide travel services, or just enjoy exploring the world – this program is for you.

With this travel affiliate program, you’ll earn an 8% commission on any experience booked within 30 days after clicking on your link.

And there’s no shortage of experiences to promote.

With 300,000 experiences in 2,500 locations – including sightseeing tours, day trips, and multi-day excursions – your opportunities are endless.

Viator has a brilliant selection of activities in North America, so if that’s your focus, then Viator is your best bet. But, the program also has tours across the globe, catering to a global audience, so you can really branch out.

5. G Adventures

• Niche: Adventure travel
• Commission rate: 6% on confirmed sales
• Cookie duration: 90 days
• URL to join: G Adventures Affiliate Program
• Perks: G Adventures provides display adds, XML feed, and additional copy
• Cons: Small niche, so can be difficult to break through the noise and market your links

G Adventures caters to adventure travelers. This is a small niche, sure, but very lucrative (and our favorite adventure travel program, simply because of the incredible tours on offer).

When you realize that G Adventures’ average order value is about $2,600, that 6% commission starts to look really good!

In fact, the adventure travel niche is estimated to be worth more than $1 trillion by 2026 ! So, why not tap into this market now?

Most people take their time to consider purchasing an adventure tour. They may click on your link, ruminate a bit, and then decide to book the tour. G Adventures understands its niche, which is why it offers a 90-day cookie duration.

You can sign up for the G Adventures affiliate program on two affiliate networks: Commission Junction or AWIN .

• Niche: Accommodation
• Commission rate: Up to 5%, depending on the number of bookings
• URL to join: Agoda Partners
• Perks: The more bookings, the higher the commission plus free tools to increase traffic
• Cons: Only open to website owners (no social media platforms)

Agoda is almost a household name when it comes to finding places to stay. They offer a range of accommodation options, from massive family-friendly resorts to romantic hidden gems.

And as an affiliate marketer, you get to enjoy the benefits of working with a trusted brand while earning an income.

This travel affiliate program is only open to those with websites – no social media posting – making it a bit tougher to qualify for. But, you can earn up to 5% on completed bookings if you get more than 299 bookings per month, which means it can be quite lucrative if you know how to market.

You’ll also be able to install free tools that have been proven to increase traffic and conversions. These tools include:

• Hotel data file

Agoda is available in 38 languages, so you can speak to your audiences no matter where they’re from.

7. GetYourGuide

• Niche: Travel experiences
• Commission rate: 8%
• Cookie duration: 31 days
• URL to join: GetYourGuide Partner
• Perks: Free training through workshops and networking events
• Cons: Bank transfers have a minimum $50 threshold

GetYourGuide offers curated excursions and activities for users across the world. By joining their partner program, you get to offer your audience amazing experiences and earn money with every booking and completed activity.

And GetYourGuide offers A LOT of activities. The tour categories include:

• Walking tours
• Attractions
• Hop on/hop off tours
• City cruises
• Multi-day trips
• City sightseeing cards

If any of your site visitors make a booking for these activities through your link, you’ll earn an 8% commission!

Not only do affiliate marketers get free training, but GetYourGuide also offers a variety of tools, including widgets, links, and guidance on how to integrate their links onto your platforms.

8. Discover Cars

• Niche: Car rental
• Commission rate: 70% of rental profit; 30% of full coverage revenue
• Cookie duration: 365 days
• URL to join: Car Rental Affiliate Program
• Perks: Tools (banners, text links, widget, landing page generator, XML API integration) and a dedicated account manager
• Cons: Minimum payment threshold of $200

Transportation affiliate programs don’t get much better than this.

We consider Discover Cars to be one of the best affiliate marketing programs for car rentals. The reason? It offers “double” commission since you’ll earn commission through the car rental profit as well as Full Coverage service.

Plus, the long cookie lifetime means this partnership is REALLY beneficial. You’ll still earn commissions after a year since a user visited your site!

Discover Cars is serious about its affiliate program. They assign their affiliate marketers a dedicated account manager who guides you on how to maximize profits and provide feedback on your links.

You can sign up to Discover Cars’ affiliate program through any of these affiliate networks:

• Commission Junction

We have to note that the commission rates through these affiliate networks may differ from the 70% offered directly through Discover Cars.

• Niche: Experiences and tours
• Commission rate: Up to 5%
• URL to join: Klook Affiliate
• Perks: Tools to aid with integration
• Cons: Must own a website or blog (no social media posts)

Klook is a convenient platform for people looking to book tickets to tourist attractions and events.

By signing up for the Klook Affiliate Program, you can earn commissions on attractions, shows, tours, transport, and dining experiences.

Klook is Hong Kong-based, which means a lot of its activities are based in Asian countries. However, a few years ago, it also doubled down on North American and European markets. And with more than 100,000 in-destination activities and excursions, you’re sure to find some that appeal to your audience.

There is also a separate influencer program, called the Klook Kreator Program , where social media influencers can earn passive income through commissions and unique promo codes.

10. Hostelworld

• Niche: Affordable accommodation; backpackers; hostels
• Commission rate: Calculated as % of deposit
• URL to join: Hostelworld Affiliate Program
• Perks: Dedicated support team and integration tools
• Cons: Does not report commission rate on their site

Hostelworld is a massive accommodation and travel booking platform. But, where other sites like Booking.com and Expedia offer more luxury travel affiliate programs, Hostelworld is firmly focused on affordable hostel experiences.

Users of Hostelworld can access more than 13 million reviews and bookings of backpackers and hostels in 179 countries.

And you get to cash in on that. Nice!

If your audience is into budget-friendly stays, then this is one of the best travel affiliate programs for you.

It’s been quite a few years since our team has stayed in a hostel, but while researching, we found dozens of links to Hostelworld on many of the top-ranking travel blogs. This just confirms how appealing, and successful, this market is.

11. Skyscanner

• Niche: Airline tickets, hotels and car rental
• Commission rate: Up to 20% on bookings
• URL to join: Skyscanner Partners
• Perks: Tools for integration (widgets, banners, links)
• Cons: Strict affiliate marketer requirements

More than 100 million users visit Skyscanner each month to plan their next trip. Skyscanner is a trusted global brand that offers a competitive commission each time someone books through your link.

They have access to more than 1,200 supply partners in 180 countries, which means you’ll definitely find an offering that appeals to your audience.

But, not just anyone can sign up for Skyscanner’s Affiliate Program. You need a working website with an HTTPS status. You also need to have more than 5,000 unique visitors each month and offer up-to-date content and good UX.

If you tick all the boxes, Skyscanner can be a reliable affiliate program choice, offering you up to 20% commission on booking through your referral links.

12. Travelpayouts

• Niche: Travel partnership platform
• Commission rate: Depends on brand
• Cookie duration: Ranges from single session to 365 days
• URL to join: Travelpayouts Partnership Platform
• Perks: Support team, free education, integration tools, and access to 100+ brands
• Cons: Bank transfer $400 minimum threshold

Travelpayouts is slightly different from all the other travel affiliate programs on this list.

Instead of running a single affiliate program, Travelpayouts offers multiple affiliate programs within the travel industry.

This platform offers access to more than 90 different travel affiliate programs, with some being exclusive to their affiliate network. It’s considered a cost-per-action travel partnership platform where some of the best travel affiliate programs are found under one roof. This includes a couple of the programs already mentioned on this list.

So, if you don’t want to sign up for all the different programs on our  list, you can simply check out Travelpayouts to see who they’re working with.

There’s more good news: There are no minimum traffic requirements to become a Travelpayouts affiliate marketer. That means even if you’re a complete beginner, you can get started with this program.

• Niche: General travel
• Commission rate: Up to 50%
• URL to join: KAYAK Affiliate Program
• Perks: Access to several brands and integration tools
• Cons: Minimum payment threshold of $500

KAYAK is not exactly an affiliate network, although at first glance it does look like one. This is because KAYAK actually owns several travel brands – including Momondo, Cheapflights, and HotelsCombined. So when you sign up to KAYAK’s affiliate program, you get access to these brands too!

Travelers commonly turn to KAYAK for flights, car rentals, hotel stays, and activities. This metasearch engine is huge in the US, with more than 6 million annual searches. Wild.

Commissions vary, but you can expect to earn up to 50% on bookings, clicks, and ad revenue across their travel offerings.

14. World Nomads

• Niche: Travel insurance
• Commission rate: 10% on sales
• Cookie duration: 60 days
• URL to join: World Nomads Affiliate Program
• Perks: Integration tools, ongoing support, and a platform that is recommended by big brands like Lonely Planet and Contiki
• Cons: Insurance-related content is difficult to rank for

World Nomads is the only travel insurance site on our list because it, arguably, offers the best affiliate program for this niche.

According to World Nomads, they “ aim to be a part of every adventurous traveler’s journey by providing travelers a range of travel insurance and safety services “.

And we admit – travel insurance is not the sexiest affiliate program. But once you consider that World Nomads is sold in over 100 countries and you can earn up to 10% commission, it does become a lot more attractive.

Becoming a Travel Affiliate

Now you know which are the best travel affiliate programs. But, how can YOU become a travel affiliate?

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Building Your Site/Audience

If you don’t already have a travel website or blog, it is time to get started. A couple of the travel affiliate programs on the list above do not invest in social media influencers, so it’s best to get a website with steady traffic going now.

You also need to build rapport with your audience. No one will trust a spammy website littered with links. Instead, you should offer personalized experiences and up-to-date content.

Share your travel stories, give tips on where to go and stay, and aim to inspire your audience to take your advice.

Promoting Travel Offers

No one likes a tourist trap – not in real life and certainly not online.

You need to promote your content (and unique referral links) in such a way that your readers want to check out your recommendations without feeling like you’re shoving it in their faces.

It’s not always possible to collaborate directly with brands to get the best travel deals, so working with an affiliate program to find the best offers and promote them on your site is a good alternative.

The best way to do this is to stay on trend!

For example, before 2020 almost everyone had a travel bucket list that they wanted to tick off. From visiting the Eiffel Tower to walking the Great Wall of China. Luxury travel was definitely on the rise.

The post-2020 era saw an increase in digital nomads and sustainable travel.

These trends are sure to change again, and you’ll have to craft content that competes.

Here are some post ideas for your travel site:

• Listicles: You can create lists of your top destinations, activities, or stays.
• Personal itineraries: Share your own travel experiences.
• Destination deep-dives: Focus on a single destination, offering tips on stays, excursions, and how to get there.

But, you’ll also notice, everyone is writing these kinds of travel posts. According to Nina Clapperton of She Knows SEO , the trick to travel affiliate marketing is to “turn your entire site into a sales funnel.” Don’t start at conversion – start at the beginning and direct them through internal links to the affiliate link. You’ll build trust by focusing on informational posts and the pain points of your audience.

Maximizing Earnings

You need to find the right balance between programs that offer high commissions and those that are likely to convert.

There’s no point in signing up for an affiliate program that offers 50% commission if no one in your audience is interested in their offering.

You should be in this for the long haul. So choose a program that is guaranteed to appeal to your audience and make them want to convert.

Also, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Affiliate programs close (like Airbnb, which ended its program in 2021 ), so it is good to diversify and sign up for more than one program to maximize earnings.

Or, you can sign up for an affiliate network, like Travelpayouts or ShareASale, where you can find dozens of travel affiliate marketing programs.

How To Choose The Right Travel Affiliate Program

Still not quite sure which travel affiliate programs to sign up for? We’ve got you covered.

Here are some tips for choosing the right program:

• Align your niche: You want to pick an affiliate program that aligns with your website’s niche, content, and your audience’s interest. A generic travel affiliate program might not convert as well as a niche-specific one. For example, if you have a travel site about backpacking the world, then luxury travel affiliate programs will be a bad fit.
• Evaluate commission and conversion rates: Programs vary widely in their commission and payment structures. Some offer high commissions of up to 50%, but the conversion rates might be low. Look for programs with good commission rates and track conversion rates to ensure it’s profitable.
• Check the cookie duration: The longer you will get credit for a referral after users click on your link, the higher the chance of conversions materializing. The most common cookie duration ranges from 30 to 90 days, but some programs offer up to 365 days!
• Compare tools and resources: All the programs we included above offer some kind of integration tool package. You’ll want to choose a program with reliable lead-generation tools as well as a dedicated support team to help you with any issues.
• Investigate payment reliability: You can review affiliate forums to see how reliably a specific program pays its affiliate marketers. Reputable affiliate programs or networks will pay on schedule.

29 Best Travel Affiliate Programs in 2024

April 9, 2024

Affiliate Disclosure: We may earn a commission if you buy something through the links on this page (at no extra cost).

The travel niche offers many affiliate marketing opportunities because there is so much terrain to cover. For instance, a travel content creator can discuss her experiences, tips, hacks, things to do, places to visit, dining, nightlife, tours, reviews, travel reward cards, and more. Therefore, this post covers the best travel affiliate programs for beginners, bloggers, and social media marketers (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc.).

Millions travel annually for pleasure and business, making the trillion-dollar travel and tourism industry lucrative. However, margins are tiny for many travel products and services, negatively impacting what advertisers can pay affiliates. Therefore, commission rates tend to be single or low double digits.

Best Travel Affiliate Programs

FlexOffers and CJ Affiliate offer robust selections of high-paying advertisers in various travel niches, whereas Impact, ShareASale, and Rakuten Advertising each have over 100 programs. The minimum payout threshold for these networks ranges from $10 to $50. Once you exceed the minimum, you’ll receive your commissions.

Standard travel categories include accessories, accommodations, airfare, attractions, car rentals, cruises, flights, hotels, insurance, luggage, parking, sightseeing, tours, transportation, and vacations. Since most merchants only pay for sales and bookings, you won’t find many pay-per-lead affiliate programs in the travel sector.

Booking.com

There are hundreds of travel affiliate programs, and I’ve done my best to provide the top ones based on their earnings per click (EPC) and website rankings. I also recommend sifting through what else is available and promoting companies and products/services you use frequently. In my case, that would be Priceline and LATAM Airlines.

You can tie in and promote goods from other categories, including books, magazines, courses, dating, relationships, entertainment, food, health, wellness, lifestyle, and personal finance. For instance, a post entitled, How to Send Money to Your Family While Traveling, could include an affiliate link to Wise . Wise helps people hold, save, transfer, and spend currencies at interbank exchange rates and low fees. It’s a product I frequently use as a globetrotter and digital nomad.

It’s worth noting that Booking Holdings and Expedia Group are the most prominent online travel agency (OTA) and booking industry players. Also, Trip isn’t too far behind.

Booking Holdings brands include Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, Kayak, Cheapflights.com, HotelsCombined.com, Rentalcars, Momondo, and OpenTable.

Expedia Group brands include Expedia, VRBO, Hotels.com, Hotwire, Orbitz, Travelocity, Trivago, and CarRentals. Furthermore, almost all those websites have affiliate programs.

Trip.com, China’s largest online travel company, owns Skyscanner and other Chinese travel websites.

Airbnb is a market leader for accommodations and activities. However, it has since retired its affiliate and referral programs.

There are many affiliate programs for travel bloggers out there so searching for ‘the one’ can be overwhelming. 

I know this, as I also run a travel blog myself!

Travel is a commitment that includes many factors. Flight and accommodation bookings, trips, and activities – it’s not a decision people make in a blink of an eye. 

Also, if your blog is relatively new, their chances to click your affiliate links might be lesser than other niches.

So, how do you ensure they do? What’s the proper technique and strategy to find the best affiliate travel programs? Read on to find out.

What Is An Affiliate Program?

An affiliate program allows you to earn money from sending traffic to certain companies. It happens when you promote their services or products on your blog.

It goes like this:

• Insert a trackable link into your content, for example, Booking.com . 
• Someone books a room through the link you provided.
• You get a commission from there.

In the quest of affiliate marketing,  you’ll come across the word ‘cookie’. Besides not being edible, this cookie means a value stored on our computer. When someone visits your website through an affiliate link, the cookie is stored on their computer.

Cookies are used to track affiliate referrals and they have an expiry date. Let’s say you’re an affiliate partner of Klook and their affiliate cookie lasts for 24 hours. This means you can only earn commission from sales that take place within 24 hours after your reader clicked on the affiliate link.

What’s great about affiliate programs is all three parties ‘win’ something. Referral traffic for the company, products, or services for the readers and you – some moolah from your recommendations!

Many bloggers earn so much from affiliate programs because they can earn money even when they’re asleep. Talking about passive income, eh? 

When I just started blogging, I earned zero bucks from affiliate marketing. Then I signed up for this course by Michelle . I learned how she made over $100,000 per month from affiliate partnerships. Within three months I made $300 per month and it continued to increase.

Her course is a game-changer! You can sign up here:

Anyways… Once you’ve built trust with your readers, you’ll see the consistency in earning money from your recommendations through the affiliate programs.

How To Choose The Best Affiliate Programs For Travel Bloggers

Essentially, there are four things you should consider before choosing an affiliate travel program:

• Payout rate – percentage of your commission
• Product practicality – quality of the product
• Products you trust – products you have used or are using
• Genuine/legit brands you want to speak for – products you use and like

But eventually, it boils down to these two:

• Understanding the consumer buying cycle
• Treating your readers as a friend

Understanding The Consumer Buying Cycle

Let’s say you bought a backpack recently  – an Osprey Atmos AG 65 . Before deciding to purchase it, you probably Googled something like “Best backpack 2021” or “Best backpack for hiking”.

And then, you clicked an article from one of the blogs on the first page, read the review, and made your purchase through the author’s link. 

So, this is what it means by the consumer buying cycle. In short, the process goes like this: 

Awareness>Research>Evaluation>Purchase

Make sure you provide detailed information about the product and its value. How does it work? How can it help the readers? What benefit can the readers gain from buying the product?

Treating Your Readers As A Friend

How many times have you recommended a great restaurant or your new favorite hiking boots to a friend? 

If you approach your blog posts with that exact same authenticity, your readers can sense that. 

Of course, it takes time to build trust but solid readership and followers is a sure way to up your affiliate marketing game and earn consistent income from your blog.

Affiliate Programs VS Affiliate Networks

Besides affiliate programs, you might have also heard about affiliate networks.

In case you’re wondering, these two are not the same. But they provide the same end game – to let you earn money.

While affiliate programs are controlled by the company selling the product, an affiliate network is like a hub that houses thousands of affiliate programs.

Take Expedia or Amazon , for instance – they run their affiliate programs or in-house affiliate programs.

Affiliate networks are like intermediaries. They connect bloggers and entrepreneurs (publishers like you and me) with companies (merchants).

 Here are some great affiliate networks you can join:

Travelpayouts

Commission rate: Starts at 8%

Of all the affiliate networks out there, Travelpayouts is the only one that caters to travel brands. This broad network houses more than 60 affiliate programs to choose from.

The commission rate depends on the affiliate program you choose, though. Since it was first launched, Travelpayouts has released more than $20 million in payouts. 

You can register for the Travelpayouts affiliate network here .

CJ Affiliate

Commission rate: Varies, depending on the rate set by partners for each offer

One of the world’s largest affiliate networks, CJ Affiliate houses hundreds of the best affiliate programs for travel bloggers, including the major ones like Expedia.

Every year, the network releases more than $1.5 billion in commissions to its affiliates.

You can register for the CJ Affiliate network here .

For more than 20 years, ShareASale has allowed its affiliates to partner with more than 15,000 merchants of many brands.

Once you sign up with this network, you can access a custom affiliate link tool and automated reports for performance tracking.

You can register for the ShareASale network here .

Amazon Associates

Commission rate: 3 to 10%

As the largest retail affiliate program in the world, Amazon is the most popular among travel bloggers.

Being Amazon’s affiliate partner means you can earn a commission by promoting anything and everything on Amazon. 

The best part is, you won’t be earning from the product you recommended only. In fact, you will earn from someone’s entire purchase in their fully-loaded cart! (even if they did not purchase the other items through your affiliate link)

You can register for the Amazon Associate network here .

How Do I Become A Travel Affiliate ?

Becoming a travel affiliate is pretty straightforward. You don’t need to invest so much to set up a travel affiliate business or website. It won’t take too much of your time too. 

That being said, there are several factors you need to consider before embarking on this journey.

1. Website Naming

Think of something brandable, easy to pronounce, and travel-related, preferably.

Here’s a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to building a travel website that you can start with.

Are Travel Affiliate Websites Profitable?

Absolutely!

Joining affiliate programs in the travel niche is an excellent decision.

The travel industry is vast, and affiliate programs don’t require you to promote any product in particular. Any travel product or service can earn you money.

Go beyond the bubble – promote traveling gears, blogging courses and tools , books, or travel gadgets.

Check out these top travel affiliates program joiners:

• Two Wandering Soles : Average income from affiliate marketing is $17,000 +
• Living The Dream : Income from affiliate marketing is $600 (June 2021)
• It’s a Lovely Life : Income from affiliate marketing is $50,000 + (estimated) 
• Nomad Numbers : Income from affiliate marketing: $574.59
• SFTourismTips : Income from affiliate marketing is $4,500 per month

In short, travel isn’t just about hotels or airlines, so don’t put a limit to what you can monetize. 

Do I Absolutely Need A Blog To Join A Travel Affiliate Program?

Absolutely not!

You don’t necessarily need a blog to start earning from affiliate programs. One way to do this is with Pinterest – a platform for you and me to search for information using images, GIFs and videos.

If you have been wanting to embark on the affiliate marketing business but don’t think you can commit to maintaining a blog, you can check this post out: Your Step By Step Guide To Affiliate Marketing On Pinterest Without A Blog .

In this article, you’ll learn about:

• What Pinterest and affiliate marketing are about 
• Starting an affiliate marketing business without a blog
• The tips and tricks to generating an income on Pinterest without a blog
• Best affiliate marketing programs for Pinterest

While affiliate programs are proven to boost blog income, they will not happen overnight. You have to spend at least once or twice a week learning how to grow your affiliate income. Understand the strategies and implement them.

The truth is, joining these best affiliate programs for travel bloggers is not a difficult task. It just takes patience and persistence to see results. Don’t give up when you don’t see progress after a couple of weeks. Good things take time. 

And congratulations for reading this far. It means you’re ready to be an affiliate!

TripAdvisor is the world’s largest travel site with more than a million bookable destinations. The TripAdvisor affiliate program allows you to promote their rooms and claim a 50% commission of the brokerage fee that TripAdvisor gets from their hotel partners.

The program is currently hosted on the affiliate network, Flexoffers. Affiliate website owners who qualify can customize their affiliate links, and use booking widgets, and custom search APIs.

Best Airline Affiliate Programs

Airline affiliate programs can be a great way to monetize a general travel blog or an affiliate marketing site that is focused on a specific remote destination.

These referral programs can be easily combined with other popular affiliate programs based on activity booking or accessories.

Skyscanner is a global travel website that allows users to compare prices for flights, car hire services, and hotels. As part of the travel affiliate program, travel bloggers can collect a commission off of each booking that is made through their travel sites.

Affiliates are provided with travel search widgets, banners, and customizable affiliate links to drive users to the Skyscanner site. Travel websites, blogs, social media groups, deals websites, and other types of sites are allowed to apply.

Kayak is a travel search engine that promises users the best prices on travel by showing them offers from hundreds of hotel, flight, and car rental sites in one place.

If you join this affiliate program, you’ll be supported with banners and affiliate links that can be targeted to specific destinations.

Best Hotel Affiliate Programs

Hotel affiliate programs are a great way to monetize sites focused on specific destinations.

For example, you can focus on a particular area, such as the Florida Keys or the Mediterranean. You can even focus your site on a specific hotel or resort.

Booking.com is a major travel booking site that manages more than 1.5 million room reservations per day. As part of this travel affiliate program, travel bloggers can collect commissions by convincing users to book rooms, vacation rentals, and cabins for trains and ships.

Will Hatton of The Broke Backpacker travel blog[ 2 ] had this to say about the program:

“For accommodation, booking.com is the best affiliate program to push; it just converts better than other platforms.”

If you join the Booking.com affiliate program, you get access to a partner portal that provides free tracking and performance analysis tools.

Agoda is a vacation rental site that allows users to book anything from hotels to resort homes and private villas. Nearly a million properties are available for booking on the site. Everything from New York 5-star hotels to Cancun resorts is represented.

As part of their referral program, you can collect commissions for booking any of these rentals. Approved affiliates have access to insider data files for each hotel, as well as search box widgets and custom banners.

Best Travel Tours Affiliate Programs

Travel tour affiliate programs are some of the most lucrative travel affiliate programs. Booking tours usually involve multiple accommodations, services, or activities over several days. Large transactions can mean a substantial commission for you.

G Adventures is a travel tour site that allows users to book adventures with small groups. Adventures with full itineraries are available in places from Istanbul to Iceland. Affiliates can collect commissions for directing users toward 2-4 day packages.

The program is managed by the Commission Junction network. If you join this travel affiliate program, you’ll be supported by all the tools available on that network, including tracking and real-time reporting apps.

Activities include sightseeing tours, tickets for cultural attractions, and activities like snorkeling and parasailing.

Affiliates are supported with a self-service dashboard where they can view reports, assess performance, and track incoming payments.

Best Travel Insurance Affiliate Programs

Travel insurance affiliate programs give you the chance to get paid for directing your users to sign up for insurance.

These programs can work effectively on any kind of travel blog. Due to the relatively low cost of the product, it can be easy to convince visitors to add insurance to other kinds of orders.

World Nomads is a travel insurance site that serves independent travelers in more than 130 countries. Users can get coverage for their gear, 24/7 emergency medical or dental assistance, and unplanned return flights.

Affiliates can promote insurance plans across the world. If you join this affiliate program, you’ll be supported by a global support team with bases in the UK, Australia, Brazil, and the US.

SafetyWing provides global medical insurance for digital nomads and other types of long-term travelers. Unlike many other types of travel insurance, it operates on a subscription model so that travelers can remain covered for months or even years at a time.

As a partner in this affiliate program, you can collect commissions for promoting nomad insurance or remote health subscriptions. In either case, you can collect 10% commissions and track sales with a personal dashboard.

Best Luxury Travel Affiliate Programs

These programs are highly competitive, but they offer you the chance to fight for orders that have the highest average transactions in the travel industry. Booking premium accommodations or services can guarantee that any commission applies to a huge order.

Boatbookings is a luxury travel site that allows users to book some of the most luxurious boats in the world, including crewed yachts, catamarans, and even modern superyachts. Affiliates are rewarded with a commission for each successful booking that comes from their traffic.

Affiliates can promote bookings at all of these locations, as well as extras like butler services, golf courses, and wedding amenities. The program is hosted on the large CJ Affiliate network.

Best Outdoor & Travel Accessory Affiliate Programs

Outdoor accessory affiliate programs are popular with affiliates because they can be matched with other types of travel affiliate programs already active on your travel blog.

For example, If you’re promoting flights, you can promote travel pillows. If you’re promoting hikes, you can promote hydration packs. It’s easy to slide the affiliate links into any related content.

REI is a major retailer and an affiliate program with a massive stock of outdoor gear and supplies for hiking, snowboarding, skiing, and other sports. Through the affiliate program, you can collect commissions on the sale of any of these goods.

Will Hatton of The Broke Backpacker is a fan of the high commissions. He says:

“For hiking and travel gear—a click to REI is worth three clicks to Amazon.”

The affiliate program is managed through AvantLink. Affiliates can use the tools of this network to manage their campaign and to track clicks and commissions.

Osprey is an outdoor brand that specializes in performance backpacks and also offers an affiliate program. Affiliates can promote a wide variety of different daypacks, hydration accessories, wheeled travel luggage, ski packs, and organizational accessories.

The Osprey affiliate program is managed through AvantLink. This network provides a range of support services for affiliates, including tracking and reporting tools.

Amazon Associates affiliate program is the largest retail affiliate program in the world. While it’s not often listed among best travel affiliate programs, it belongs here because it’s one of the world’s biggest sources for travel products.

As an associate, you can promote nearly every product Amazon carries, including an unmatched stock of travel accessories.

The site sells thousands of backpacks, secure wallets, travel comfort items, and more.

Affiliate marketers are supported with some customizable affiliate links, banners, and API tools that allow you to integrate product displays directly into your website.

The travel niche is a lot bigger than it might appear at first sight. It doesn’t only deal with travel itself (though we will cover some networks and referral programs that deal with that specifically), but also accommodations, activities, and accessories.

The affiliate marketers that populate this niche include everyone from travel bloggers to extreme sports enthusiasts who write about their favorite destinations.

One of the great things about the travel niche is that you can layer many different offers into the same site or content .

For example, if someone wants to travel somewhere, they’ll need somewhere to stay when they get there. They’ll also want some things to do. If you’re clever, you can help them do all of these things from your site with a gentle sprinkling of affiliate links.

No matter what you choose to base your site around, you need to know where to start when looking for a good affiliate program. Let’s look at how to find the best products for travel-based affiliate marketing.

If you want to find the best products, start with the best merchants and networks. The resources offered by high-quality travel programs can help you get on your feet faster. You should ask yourself:

Good support can take a significant amount of work out of your hands, including:

Beyond that, succeeding in any niche requires a certain degree of knowledge and enthusiasm. Many travel bloggers succeed because their excitement is infectious . People want more than the sights—they want the joy and wonder the travel blogs are communicating.

Selling takes more than just communicating, though. That’s why you need to understand the buyer cycle if you want to work with travel programs.

Understanding the customer buying cycle is an important part of surviving and thriving in the travel niche and finding the most suitable affiliate program for you. Travel is expensive, so buyers are warier of paying for bad deals or working with untrustworthy partners.

Part of how you overcome that hesitation is by making sure that you’re meeting the needs of your visitors at every stage.

We prefer the AIDA model. We covered this in detail in this helpful video .

This model is decades old, but it translates well to online affiliate marketing. Using AIDA, you can target different keywords with different search intent to create a marketing funnel .

For example, commercial intent keywords (e.g. “best X for Y”, product comparisons, product reviews) usually target people in the desire/action stage. These terms might have less traffic, but they will convert more often. For that reason, you can expect them to be more competitive

On the other hand, “early research” type keywords (for the attention/interest stages) often have high traffic, but less buyer intent.

Keep this in mind as you’re building out your site, and your content strategy. For now, let’s explore the difference between programs and networks before jumping into the best ones.

The difference is that an affiliate program is a business arrangement where a company pays commissions to affiliates for referring customers, whereas an affiliate network is a platform that connects multiple affiliate programs and affiliates, acting as an intermediary between the two.

But they are very closely related.

An affiliate/referral program is an arrangement that exists between an affiliate and a merchant for a product or family of products. Merchants may operate one or several referral programs depending on their needs.

An affiliate network is a type of platform that allows merchants and affiliates to coordinate on offers. It offers useful tools to both parties, such as dashboards, search engines, and ratings of other merchants and affiliate marketers on the network.

Affiliate networks typically feature thousands of referral programs from hundreds of different merchants, though they may choose to focus on specific niches.

Merchants like working with networks because it gives them access to a large base of affiliates. They also like how they don’t have to manage the work of setting up contracts or handling the technical side of creating affiliate links.

Affiliate marketers like working with networks because they can choose from many different offers for an affiliate program and manage them from one dashboard.

Networks often claim a small share of the payments that affiliates collect. This may seem like a downside, but many top-tier travel affiliate offers are exclusive to the best affiliate programs . If you want to sell certain products, you’ll need to be approved on a network first. It’s best if you already have experience with travel blogs.

The travel industry offers numerous opportunities for commission payouts for different travel packages and hotels. Finding a good travel affiliate program can be challenging if you do not have much experience. Still, ShareASale is a profitable and reliable network that has been in the business for decades.

It offers over 15,000 travel merchants with high commission rates, and it allows you to earn on everything, from vacation rentals to tourist tickets and flights.

Although the travel industry is quite competitive, ShareASale has some of the best offers and will help you profit highly from every sale. For that reason, I would recommend you to stop wasting your time and sign up for ShareASale today.

• Create or buy a lead magnet to give away for free in exchange for email addresses so you can build your private prospect list
• Create pages on social media platforms that travelers enjoy visiting. Share your content there to build your audience, increase awareness, and drive traffic back to your travel site or blog
• Learn from a super-affiliate who can help you shorten your success curve
• Build relationships on the social media platforms by entering discussions and contributing to the conversation
• Separate yourself from other travel-related websites by offering a unique voice or taking a different approach

The travel industry was hammered by the COVID-19 global pandemic.

All signs point to the the travel market poised to rebound in a big way once people start feeling comfortable traveling again.

Travel affiliate programs should thrive as people with cabin-fever begin to spend freely on airline tickets and hotels. If you’re not promoting the travel niche, this would be a perfect time to get started.

Let’s dig in!

Accommodations & Flights

Probably the most popular affiliate programs to promote in the travel industry are hotel accommodations and flights, and there are plenty to choose from. Here are the ones I like the most.

1. Booking.com

URL: Booking.com Affiliate Program Commission: 25%-40% Cookie Duration: TBC

Booking.com is a great all-in-one program to promote because they offer over 2.5 million accommodations, as well as flights, flight and hotel packages, car rentals, attractions, and airport taxis.

They make it easy to sign up as an affiliate, and you’ll receive numerous tools to help you promote Booking.com, including a plugin to incorporate a Booking.com search box on their site, deep linking, and banners, as well as an affiliate support center.

You’ll earn a percentage of the commission that Booking.com gets from each booking, and it works on a commission scale depending on how many bookings you get per month, ranging from 25%-40%.

You get paid only after your referral completes their stay, and there is a $100 min payout.

2. Tripadvisor

URL: Tripadvisor Affiliate Program Commission: 50% of Tripadvisor’s commission Cookie Duration: 14 days

Tripadvisor offers reviews, recommendations, and bookings for hotels, tours, activities, restaurants, flights, vacation rentals, and cruises (over 500,000 cities and hotels in total).

It’s pretty interesting as an affiliate, because Trip Advisor is actually an affiliate as well, and they are essentially sharing commissions with you.

Affiliates earn at least 50% of the commission Tripadvisor receives from hotel bookings. You’ll get paid whether your referrals book a hotel or not since payment happens when they click out to Tripadvisor’s hotel booking partners.

The commission earned depends on several factors, such as the booking partner, hotel, seasonality, and length of stay. It’s also important to note that commissions are only earned on hotel stays, not on tours, activities, restaurants, flights, etc.

Tripadvisor has incentive programs for their affiliates, and they offer deep linking.

This means you can link directly to an exact offer, trip, hotel, etc. with an affiliate link.

You can sign up for their affiliate program through either CJ Affiliate or Awin.

*Hint: I hate Awin. Do CJ.

URL: Expedia Affiliate Program Commission: 1% – 12% as outlined below Cookie Duration: 30 days

Expedia offers bookings on flights, hotels, and activities with over 500,000 hotels across the world and 400 airlines.

Commissions are determined by the purchase:

• 1% per transaction on flights
• 3.5% per transaction on packages
• 5.5% per transaction on rental cars
• 6% per transaction on hotels
• 12% per transaction on activities
• 12% per transaction on ground transfers

Affiliates receive access to a dedicated affiliate call center for assistance. The minimum payout is $50.

These numbers are huge if you do the math. Six percent of a $2,000 hotel purchase is $120. And some people will spend up to $10,000 on their hotels!

4. Priceline

URL: Priceline Affiliate Program Commission: 3% Cookie Duration: TBC

Priceline offers hotel, rental car, flight, trip protection, and attractions. Their claim to fame is discounted travel that saves people up to 60% on over 70,000 properties and 263 airlines worldwide.

As an affiliate, you’ll earn 3% commissions on hotels, flights, vacation packages, and car rentals.

You’ll get to choose from an API integration to power your website or a private label eCommerce template, and of course, there is a dedicated support team for affiliates.

Priceline is a funny one because you will be offering better prices typically to your audience, but that means you make less commission.

I wouldn’t use Priceline if I was referring to hotels because Expedia commissions are nearly double.

5. Cheapflights.com

URL: Cheapflights Affiliate Program Commission: 45¢ per click out (desktop and tablet), 25¢ per click out (mobile) Cookie Duration: 90 days

Let me give a quick disclaimer here as a traveler and an affiliate.

I tried these guys and it was messy.

I tried to book with them and they kept claiming to have found a good price, but every time I went to book the price went away.

Could it have been a fluke? Maybe.

Cheapflights.com works with over 300 partners, and thousands of airlines and travel agents to find the best deals on flights, hotels, and rental cars.

One thing I LOVE is that Affiliates get to integrate their flight search functionality on their websites with booking engine widgets, search boxes, and banners.

This means you can have people searching for flights on your own website using their embed feature.

I don’t need to tell you how great it is to keep someone on your website.

The Cheapflights affiliate program is a pay per click program . You’ll receive fixed fee earnings when your referral clicks out to one of Priceline’s partners (45¢ per click out on desktop and tablet, 25¢ per click out on mobile).

If your website is getting thousands of visitors a month this could easily turn into $4,500 a month.

CJ Affiliate manages their affiliate program.

Agoda has almost 2 million properties worldwide, including hotels, resorts, hostels, and private rentals.

This is definitely one of the best travel affiliate programs in my eyes because the commissions are pretty decent and they are based on the booking amount, not on a revenue share.

Commissions are tier-based, ranging from 4% to 7% depending on margin. They are based on completed bookings and you are paid after your referral has checked out of the property.

• 4% – less than 50 bookings
• 4.5% – 50-99 bookings
• 5% – 100-199 bookings
• 6% – 200-999 bookings
• 7% – more than 999 bookings

Agoda provides affiliates with a dedicated affiliate support team and promotional tools that include a search box, text links, data feeds, and hotel power ads (which allow you to increase your revenue by 300%).

Affiliates must have a website to join the affiliate program and it takes 48-72 hours to get approved. The minimum payout is $200 and is done through bank transfer.

You can sign up for the Agoda affiliate program through ShareASale or right on the Agoda website.

7. Skyscanner

URL: Skycanner Affiliate Program Commission: 20% and up Cookie Duration: TBC

Skyscanner uses world-class travel search technology for checking flight prices, hotels, and rental cars, and they have a mobile app as well.

Affiliates have access to banners, travel widgets, flight booking widgets, and APIs that you can use to create your own search functionality on your site.

Commissions are on Skyscanner generated revenue, not on bookings or cart revenue. Skyscanner receives a commission from their partners when users click-out, and affiliates receive 20% of Skyscanner’s commission to start.

That means, you can earn at each stage of travel, from planning to purchase.

URL: airbnb Affiliate Program Commission: $20 for accommodations, $10 for experiences Cookie Duration: TBC

Airbnb offers home and apartment rentals, as well as unique experiences and online experiences.

They do have an affiliate program, but it isn’t for most affiliates since they require you to have at least 1 million monthly visits. Instead, what I wanted to talk about is their referral program.

By sharing your referral link, your referrals save by receiving up to $35 off of their first trip, and you get $20 for every person who completes a qualifying stay and $10 for every person who books a qualifying experience.

Money earned is given in credit off of airbnb purchases, so it’s a great opportunity to travel more often yourself without breaking the bank.

9. Cruise Direct

URL: Cruise Direct Affiliate Program Commission: 3% of the gross sale Cookie Duration: 45 days

Cruise Direct offers cruises around the world with a 100% best price guarantee.

The fact that Cruise Direct’s commissions are based on gross sales definitely makes this one of the best travel affiliate programs.

For example, an average sale on this site is $2200, so a 3% commission would earn you $66.

Affiliates have access to links, banners, search boxes, personalized landing pages, and a dedicated affiliate team, as well as opportunities for extra commissions, deals, and bonus commission opportunities.

The minimum payout is $25, and the program is managed by CJ Affiliate.

10. Sandals Resorts

URL: Sandals Resorts Affiliate Program Commission: 4% on bookings Cookie Duration: 60 days

Sandals provides Caribbean vacations at 16 Sandals Resorts (for romantic vacations, honeymoons, and destination weddings) and 3 Beach Resorts (for families).

This is another one of the best affiliate programs for travel because affiliates earn 4% commissions on all travel products, including luxury, all-inclusive getaways, private candlelight dinners, and more.

With rates that range from $150-$2000 per person per night, that can certainly add up. Plus, Sandals has one of the best EPCs in the travel niche (3 month EPC = $137.99).

Affiliates are given incentives to earn free trips and performance bonuses. There are hundreds of banners to choose from, and you’ll receive a dedicated affiliate manager.

You can sign up for the Sandals affiliate program on CJ Affiliate.

URL: Wego Affiliate Program Commission: 5¢-80¢ per click Cookie Duration: TBC

Wego is a “travel meta-search engine” that allows travelers to easily find the best-priced hotels and flights.

Affiliates earn on exit clicks, which means you get paid each time someone visits Wego with your referral link and then clicks a link on Wego to a partner site, such as Booking.com.

The value of each successful booking varies depending on the travel partner your referral books with and the commercial agreement between Wego and Travel suppliers, but it will look something like this:

• 5¢-40¢ per flight click
• 2¢-80¢ per hotel click

There are banners, links, and APIs to integrate their software into your site. Affiliates can choose to join as an API partner or as a non-API partner.

You’ll get paid by PayPal or wire transfer with a $100 min payout for PayPal and $500 min for bank transfer.

Tours & Niched Travel

The next category I wanted to explore for travel affiliate programs has to do with booking tours and travel that is niched, such as adventure or student travel.

Promoting these programs is a great way to separate yourself from the masses.

1. G Adventures

• Private Travel

Affiliates get to earn 5% on the booking price. The average order is $2600, which would provide you with a whopping $130!

They provide display ads, copy, XML feed, and special promotions for affiliates. Sign up is through CJ Affiliate.

2. STA Travel

URL: STA Travel Affiliate Program Commission: 10% commission on tours, ISIC cards, SIM cards; $4 per flight Cookie Duration: TBC

STA Travel is the global leader in travel for students, teachers, and people under age 35. They offer a wide range of travel products, including:

• Student Travel
• Rail and bus passes
• Travel deals
• Insurance on travel

Affiliates receive 10% commission on tours, ISIC cards, and SIM cards, as well as $4 on flights, which is nothing to write home about, but they do offer some nice incentives.

For example, there is a dedicated support team that sets up monthly promotions to help affiliates improve conversions with vanity promo codes and co-branded landing pages. There are also increased commissions for top performers.

Payments are through PayPal and sing up for the program is at CJ Affiliate.

3. Get Your Guide Tours

5. RoutePerfect

URL: Route Perfect Affiliate Program Commission: $50 per sale Cookie Duration: TBC

RoutePerfect provides custom trip itineraries through their online trip planning tool. Travelers can plan their trips according to budget, preferences, and personal style.

This is certainly one of the best travel affiliate programs because affiliates receive a $50 flat commission for each package booked (min total package of $300).

You can add their Trip Planner to your site, which is great because their conversion rates are high and bounce rates are low. They also offer embedded custom trips for maximum conversions and a dedicated affiliate manager.

Digital Products

If you know me, you know that my favorite type of products to promote as an affiliate marketer is digital products.

They tend to offer the best commissions every single time.

When it comes to travel affiliate programs, there are a couple digital products that stand out…

1. Naughty Nomad ebooks

URL: Naughty Nomad Affiliate Program Commission: 75% commission on ebook sales Cookie Duration: 6 months

Mark Zolo is known as the Naughty Nomad and he offers several ebooks that you can earn a whopping 75% commission on!

What Makes Affiliate Programs for Travel so Exciting?

There are many different ways you can promote travel with a blog or YouTube channel.

For example, you can offer a general travel site with tips and access to bookings and cheap flights.

You could also get more specific, such as seniors who want to travel across the U.S.

Then, there are travel bloggers who travel around the world and write about it.

There are also many segments you can get involved with when it comes to travel affiliate programs. For instance, you can target people based on:

• Continent, country, region, and city
• Tourist attractions
• Event travel (weddings, bachelor parties, business conference, etc)

There are also numerous different products and services to promote in the travel niche:

• Accommodations
• Finance & Legal Aspects (travel insurance, Visas, travel cards, etc)
• Items Needed for Travel (travel accessories, luggage, sun protection, etc)

What Makes a Good Travel Affiliate Program?

Now that we know the travel industry is a good place to be as an affiliate marketer, let’s look at what you should be looking for when it comes to travel affiliate programs.

First and foremost, of course, is commission because I’m a firm believer that there’s no sense in promoting something that only earns pennies on the dollar.

The best travel affiliate programs provide a decent commission structure that will allow you to make real money, and that’s what you’ll find in the list I’ve provided.

While not all of these are high-ticket affiliate programs , they are the best in the industry as far as commission goes.

Cookie Duration

The next thing to look at is cookie duration. When one of your visitors clicks your affiliate link and visits one of the programs you are promoting, the clock starts ticking.

The cookie duration determines how long you will be able to earn a commission on that referral whether they purchase on that first click or not. 

I prefer affiliate programs that offer at least 60 day cookies. That’s not always possible, but we can always strive for it, right?

When you promote a product or service as an affiliate, you don’t want to feel like you are on your own to figure out how best to promote it.

That’s why I look for travel affiliate programs that offer dedicated support for their affiliates. You’ll find that all of the programs in the list below have great affiliate support.

What is the Best Way to Promote Travel Affiliate Programs?

As you can see, there are a lot of different things to promote in this niche whether you are a seasoned or a beginner affiliate marketer , including:

• Finance and Legal aspects of travel (travel insurance, Visas, travel cards, etc)
• Items needed for travel (Travel accessories, luggage, sun protection, etc)

While I didn’t find any affiliate programs that offer recurring commissions in this niche, there is a lot going for the travel niche.

But what is the best way to promote these travel affiliate programs?

My easiest guidance on this question is this:

• If you travel the world yourself, consider starting a YouTube channel.
• If you don’t travel much but enjoy the niche, a blog is a great way to go.

Hi, I'm Jessie

I started blogging in 2011, and since then have grown a profitable (and fun!) business that allows me to travel the world -- and get paid doing it.  

I'm not talking just free trips here. I'm talking actual money that allows me to earn a viable income doing what I love.  

A little bit about me:

• I've worked with renowned brands like Qantas Airways, Mastercard, South African Tourism, Marriott, Tourism Australia and many more.
• I've been featured in top publications like USA TODAY, CNN, Business Insider and AOL Travel, as well as a web series with Bravo and a featured guest on BBC Travel (TV) -- twice! 🙂
• I've spoken at notable conferences like the TravelCon, TBEX, the Women In Travel Summit, Women's Travel Fest, New York Travel Festival, iSugar, and FindSpark.
•  I've been coaching bloggers -- both those just starting out and those who've been at it for a while -- since 2014. Each year, I help hundreds of bloggers turn their websites into dream businesses that let them comfortably live a location independent lifestyle.

Why Choose The Travel Affiliate Marketing Niche?

Choosing an affiliate marketing niche can be as complicated as being overloaded with too much information or as simple as narrowing down your interests.

Since you’re already here, you’re probably an avid traveller, and you have chosen to share and monetize your globetrotting experiences. If you have yet to decide whether to get into a travel niche, consider the following reasons.

You can certainly make lots of money in the travel niche. People like to travel, and the tons of information you can provide will certainly help others accomplish their travel goals. A successful travel blog will entice people to travel and help you earn commissions from travel products and service providers.

The travel niche in itself encompasses a myriad of sub-niches, such as architectural heritage tourism, voluntourism, food tourism, mountaineering, scuba diving, and surfing.

While travelling is already a hobby, an exact reason for travelling will tailor your goals and gather a specific group of people from the market.

Simply put, whatever travel-related hobbies you want to pursue, there will always be a market for you.

Best Travel Affiliate Programs of 2024

The internet is so diluted with travel-related affiliate programs. You can find thousands of websites to feature your travel experiences, but only a few hundred have a reputation for helping your blogs gain some traction.

In addition, travel affiliate programs vary in their parent company’s products and services. We can narrow the list down to 18 programs to help your search less tedious. No matter the path you choose to take, the following list showcases the best travel affiliate programs you can work with online today.

Expedia Group Affiliate Program

Expedia is a large online company with a vast network of multinational companies under its umbrella. It has a wide selection of products ranging from vacation rentals, packages, flights, cruises, hotels, attractions, and activities. They also partner with other companies like Vrbo, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, and Ebookers.

Using the Expedi a Affiliate Pro gram , you can earn competitive commissions from 2% to 6% through your travel blogs. Since Expedia gives you access to its expansive product inventory, you can get your website to drive conversions using the program’s centralized, customizable tools. These tools enable you to create banners that match your website, make tracking links for easy routing, and inspire exploration with widgets.

A drawback with Expedia is its short cookie duration of seven days. Nevertheless, the program allows around 80 bucks of earnings for clicks accumulated in seven days. This earnings-per-click (EPC) metric shows that the website can produce plenty of affiliate income.

Agoda Partner Program

Like Expedia, Agoda offers a wide range of travel products, including hotels, homes, private stays, flights, and leisure activities. It covers the most stunning places and showcases the many activities a traveller can do in such destinations. Furthermore, its offerings vary for all traveller types, including solo, family, small-group, leisure, and business travellers.

Unlike other travel affiliate programs, the Agoda Partner Program focuses on travel bloggers instead of social media influencers. It enables you to monetize the traffic on your website using its free-to-use tools, multilingual platform, and easy platform setup. Moreover, it has higher commission rates of 7% and a substantial cookie duration of 30 days.

However, the program requires a stand-alone traffic-generating website. As a result, any applicant should be a bonafide travel blogger with creative content to entice travel-service-seeking individuals.

Kayak Affiliate Network

Like Expedia, Kayak is a mother company to several other large brands in the travel industry, including HotelsCombined, Momondo, and Cheapflights. Consequently, the Kayak Affiliate Network effectively functions for its affiliates. This network can give you access to several travel affiliate programs with just a single enlistment.

A constant 50 percent commission from its programs seems enticing, and the cookie lifetime for its generated traffic is set at 30 days. However, a drawback of getting commissions from Kayak is you need to earn a minimum of $500 to get a payout.

Skyscanner Affiliate Program

If you’re looking to promote the best deals on flights, hotels, and car rentals, the Skyscanner Affiliate Program is another wide-reaching platform for you. It delivers access to over a thousand travel providers using 35 languages across 60 major destinations.

Like Agoda, Skyscanner keeps cookies from clicks for 30 days. However, the company pays a commission on exits from their website to partner sites. Affiliates will receive a 50 percent revenue share from traffic sent to partner websites.

Travala Affiliate Partner Program

Joining the Travala Affiliate Partner Program means directing online traffic to acquire bookings for accommodations, including hotels, vacation rentals, villas, and resorts. Travala offers more than two million options for accommodations, and the company even supplies sources of flights and destination activities.

For every successful booking from traffic sent to the website, a Travala Partner earns a 5% commission from the cost of each product. The good thing with Travala is that any traffic from your website will have a 90-day cookie window for receiving commissions.

Booking.com Partner Program

Being one of the most popular travel comparison websites on the web, Booking.com seamlessly connects millions of travellers with memorable experiences. It offers a wide range of bookings for accommodations, flights, attractions, and land transportation.

Compared to other websites, Booking.com’s strength lies within its relationship with its partners, effectively removing substantial booking fees. Due to the brand strength and product scale, the Booking.com Partner Program sits am ong the most popular platforms for travel affiliates.

The program offers variable commission rates depending on the number of successful bookings your website can generate in a month. For 50 bookings or less, you will receive a commission that is 25 percent of what Booking.com receives from property owners. Your commissions from Booking.com will increase in 5% increments when you generate 51-150, 151-500, and 501 or more bookings per month, respectively.

Tripadvisor Affiliate Program

If you want online traffic to gain access to more reviews related to your travel blogs, you might want to enlist in the Tripadvisor Affiliate Program . While it offers a 50% commission on successful bookings with accommodations partners, you can earn without successful bookings. As long as you send clicks to Tripadvisor and those clicks land onto hotel booking partners, you will also gain some earnings per click.

However, income generation through the 50 percent payout is only for accommodation bookings. Tripadvisor does not offer commissions on tourist attractions, flights, restaurants, or vacation rentals.

Hotels.com Affiliate Program

Hotels.com features a vast portfolio of more than a million destination properties across 200 countries. You may send traffic to this website by promoting a luxury resort or a modest B-and-B, and you can end up earning 4% from successful bookings using an EPC of seven days.

However, the Hotels.com Affiliate Program courses many of its affiliates through third-party marketing providers, such as Commission Junction , DCM Network, and Affiliate Window. As a result, this program is not as accessible as those from other brands.

Hostelworld Affiliate Program

Unlike the broad range of travel products Agoda, Expedia, and Booking.com, hostels and travel experiences are the focus of Hostelworld. Nevertheless, Hostelworld is also a large travel booking platform, and it offers the Hostelworld Affiliate Program for travel bloggers.

Travel affiliates can earn as much as 40% of the deposits for bookings made within 30 days of the first click through this platform. The program bases the percentage of an affiliate’s commissions on a Cost Per Action (CPA) model.

Travelpayouts Affiliate Network

Compared to individual affiliate programs offered by specific brands, Travelpayouts is an affiliate network, which means it offers various travel affiliate programs on one website. It encompasses flights, hotels, car rentals, tours, activities, and insurance packages, all in one place.

Travelpayouts is a CPA affiliate marketing domain, which means the platform is all about generating leads. As such, affiliate commissions and cookie lifetimes vary depending on the transactions.

Viator Partner Program

For many travel enthusiasts, their focus is all about attractions, things to do, and incomparable experiences. With Viator, you can access events and be physically present on the dot. Joining the Viator Partner Program means earning commissions on unique things to do in specific destinations.

For each successful booking from traffic generated from your website, you can earn an 8% commission. Plus, the cookie lifetime of clicks can stay up to 30 days.

Get Paid To Share This Page 🤑

Join the free Commission Academy affiliate program & start earning commissions by promoting this page as an affiliate. Simply share your unique link & stand a chance to earn over $1,000+ in commissions for every new person that signs up via this page.

Klook Affiliate Program

Like Viator, Klook is a leading provider of services for finding things to do in numerous destinations around the globe. However, it also provides bookings for land transportation and places to stay.

Joining the Klook Affiliate Program means discussing your business and listings with a Klook representative. After some deliberation, you can expect to get into a commission fee agreement in the range of 15 to 25 percent.

GetYourGuide Partner Program

While GetYourGuide is a travel agency, it can help you make the most of your next trip with its vast online marketplace for tour guides and excursions. In a way, it is similar to Tripadvisor since it provides thousands of resources for various travel-related activities.

Cookie lifetime and commissions through the GetYourGuide Partner Program are the same as those with Viator.

G Adventures Affiliate Program

If you are an adventure travel blogger, the G Adventures Affiliate Program might be just what you need. Since G Adventures is a leading promoter of small group travels, it narrows down its target market to a more specific niche. Since most adventure travels are once-in-a-lifetime trips, small group bookings usually come at premium prices.

G Adventures rewards a 6% commission to affiliates for all confirmed sales, with an average order value of 2,600 US dollars. This company also allows 90-day cookies to aid conversions from directed traffic. Like Hotels.com, G Adventures uses Commission Junction to track and attribute each transaction.

Take Walks Affiliate Program

Take Walks is similar to G Adventures in the sense that it focuses on tour booking services for small groups of travellers. However, instead of adventures in the great outdoors, Take Walks focuses on touring the world’s most popular city destinations.

While its bookings aren’t necessarily cheap, commissions through the Take Walks Affiliate Program can reach a whopping 15% per booking. However, there is no accurate cookie lifetime for generated traffic to the site.

Plum Guide Affiliate Program

Plum Guide is another unique travel brand with a very specific niche. Instead of marketing millions of variable-type accommodations for travellers, it offers bookings for the world’s finest homes.

While bookings on this website are not cheap, there is a large market for its niche. Travel affiliates joining the Plum Guide Affiliate Program earn 7% on every sale. Additionally, successful bookings convert from traffic up to a cookie period of 90 days.

Lonely Planet Affiliate Program

Whereas many affiliate programs offer travel bookings for destinations and travel plans, Lonely Planet is a vast resource of travel books, eBooks, and guides. Being a travel blogger, you can provide your readers with more information about Lonely Planet products.

The Lonely Planet Affiliate Program provides a high average conversion rate of 12% for travel guides. In addition, travel affiliates can gain 15% of transaction fees for every printed or online material sold.

Boatbookings Charter Yacht Partner and Affiliate Program

If you are passionate about yachts and boats, Boatbookings is an excellent niche brand for you. With them, you can experience trending charter destinations and share your experiences while earning money .

If you just want to generate income without spending too much, Boatbookings honours client introductions through the Boatbookings Charter Yacht Affiliate Program . This program offers up to 10% in commissions for referrals, with cookies lasting up to 30 days.

Travel Equipment Niche

While many travel brands focus on destinations, accommodations, activities, and guides, some specialize in travel equipment. Travel bloggers who like to talk about specific items required for travelling can earn using their affiliate platforms.

Here are some examples:

Amazon Associate Program

Since Amazon is the world’s largest one-stop marketplace for all things under the sun, it also has a sheer size of listings for travel-related products. From luggage and electronics to apparel, Amazon has it all. The Amazon Associates Program enables travel affiliates to gain commissions from product sales referrals.

However, Amazon is not so generous with commissions. Affiliate earnings vary depending on the products, and cookie retention is only up to 24 hours. Nevertheless, generating traffic to Amazon is one of the most popular and biggest affiliate programs out there.

Osprey Affiliate Program

If you want to promote quality travel gear, Osprey is one of your go-to brands. The Osprey Affiliate Program offers an 8% base commission, and cookies stay on their website for up to 30 days.

REI Affiliate Program

Recreational Equipment Incorporated is another venue for travel affiliates to promote outdoor and travel gear. With the REI Affiliate Program , affiliates can earn as much as 5% for every sale, given the purchase occurs within a 15-day cookie window.

Travel Insurance Niche

Another sub-niche within the travel industry is travel insurance sales, and many travellers pay well to ensure travel safety. The following list contains some travel affiliate programs offered by some of the most prominent travel insurance providers:

• World Nomads Partner Program
• SafetyWing Ambassador Program
• InsureMyTrip Affiliate Program
• Allianz Global Assistance Affiliate Program

Earning While You Travel Is Possible

As you can see, there is no scarcity of travel affiliate programs for generating income while you enjoy your travels. However, launching a travel blog does not necessarily equate to passive income .

You need to learn how to be an affiliate marketer , and you need to give it some time and effort.

Build your travel website into something interesting, but don’t forget to incorporate keyword-researched strategies so you can compete with the already-established travel bloggers.

Best Travel Affiliate Programs (in 2024)

• May 15, 2024

One of the most fruitful markets for affiliate marketers to target is the travel industry. You can be a part of a considerable financial payment if you contribute to the sale of a vacation package, a trip, or even simply a hotel room. Even a commission rate of one percent can result in hundreds of dollars in revenue each transaction.

In the travel sector, there are millions of potential customers looking for goods and services that would improve their trips. These people are looking to spend. Affiliate marketing is valuable to a wide variety of businesses, including airlines and tour groups, makers of travel accessories, travel apps and software, and many others.

Now, before you go and plaster your website with affiliate links for every travel affiliate scheme out there, there is something you need to take into consideration first. Your website must receive a specific level of visitors in order for you to even have the remotest chance of being eligible for commissions. This traffic originates from actual people who are looking for information and clicked over to your website in their search.

Retail Media Advertising

Expedia launches travel media network, expanding ad business to include offsite buys, for buyers, conversion-based measurement is key.

Introducing the Adweek Podcast Network . Access infinite inspiration in your pocket on everything from career advice and creativity to metaverse marketing and more. Browse all podcasts .

Advertisers can now target Expedia audiences across the open web.

The capability comes with the launch of Expedia’s travel media network, building on the travel company’s 20-year-old advertising business. According to the company’s most recent earnings report, advertising and media through Expedia Group Media Solutions accounted for $145 million in revenue in the first quarter, up from $99 million in Q1 of 2023.

“We can appeal to—especially with audience extension—anybody that’s going after that travel audience. It could be automotive or financial services or retailers,” Jennifer Andre, vp of business development at Expedia Group Media Solutions, told ADWEEK. “This gives us a lot more opportunity to proactively speak to those advertisers and connect them to travelers in the right places.”

Taking a page out of the retail media playbook, Expedia announced the new travel media network, an evolution of its ad and media business to include offsite targeting and expand its appeal to non-endemic advertisers , today at its annual Explore 24 partner event in Las Vegas.

Expedia’s travel media network is one of the dozens of companies—inside and outside of traditional retail —using first-party data to expand offsite advertising capabilities for brands in recent years, especially as the deprecation of Google’s third-party cookie looms.

Going offsite

While the high-income audiences that Expedia attracts are enticing, the quality of the network’s measurement tools could make or break the opportunity for some brands, media buyers told ADWEEK.

“Expedia offers a highly qualified audience opportunity,” said Dan Maguire, director of retail media at agency GALE. “It will be interesting to see how many sectors can make use of this audience especially as they start leaving the hospitality realm and cross over into more conversion-dependent brands in verticals like grocery or beauty.”

The company gathers data from over 200 points of sale in 70 different countries, explained Rob Torres, svp of media and affiliate solutions. While sponsored listings and display offerings have long been available in Expedia’s ad business, advertisers will now be able to target Expedia audiences on connected TV, video and social, he said, with measurement all in one place.

Hotels and other properties that buy sponsored listing ads on Expedia get 120% more bookings and 50% higher conversion than non-enrolled properties, the company said.

Finding competitive advantage

The challenge for advertisers, as with retail media networks, is how to leverage Expedia’s data relative to competitors that have access to the same pool of audience data.

“How do competing hotel portfolio brands benefit if they’re both leveraging the data from a competitive conquesting perspective?” asked Dave Kersey, chief media officer at Austin-based Omnicom agency GSD&M.

The travel media network also includes Expedia’s in-house creative team and media buying platform. In the past, the company has worked with Visit California, the state’s destination marketing nonprofit, to place co-branded ads at London’s Heathrow airport—inventory that was exclusively available through Expedia. The campaign generated 275 million impressions, according to the company.

Another example from the in-house creative team features a short film about Scotland, hosted by actor Ewan McGregor and as part of the company’s Local Lens series, and was viewed 8.7 million times on YouTube, the company said, and social posts received click-through rates that were 10 times higher than average. The company wouldn’t share how this impacted revenue.

Expanding audience targeting offsite lets brands meet consumers in all the different places they end up while booking travel—something that’s become “a pretty manic process,” Andre said. While they might start with a site like Expedia, they’re also “going to search and social and then they’re coming back to online travel agencies,” she explained. “We want to be able to capture them where they show up.”

A Complete Guide to Affiliate Marketing Platforms

Affiliate Marketing

When it comes to affiliate marketing platforms, businesses have the option to choose from two distinct types: network platforms and software platforms.

Network platforms connect affiliate marketers with brands via a network to allow them to find one another with ease. They act as the middleman between the two. 

Software platforms differ in that they provide tools and resources for affiliates and brands to manage their own affiliate program. 

Affiliate marketing programs assist businesses with reaching more people, driving more leads, and boosting sales. They optimize their spending through well-designed platforms, eliminating the need to enlist the help of expensive marketing companies.

“It’s the ultimate win-win situation. All affiliates get something from the arrangement, as does the company running the affiliate program, making it a mutually beneficial relationship.”— Russell Brunson, Co-Founder of ClickFunnels

Types of Affiliate Marketing Platforms

The two main types of affiliate marketing platforms provide different services for different needs.

Affiliate Marketing Software

Affiliate marketing software offers a unified platform, allowing users to freely manage their affiliate program the way that works best for them.

Key features typically offered by affiliate software include:

• Tracking technology: Affiliate software tracks the performance of affiliates, such as clicks, conversions, and sales. This data helps businesses understand the effectiveness of their affiliate marketing efforts.

• Payment processing: With affiliate software, users can automate the process of paying commissions to affiliates. It calculates commissions based on predefined rules and processes payments efficiently.
• Performance reporting: Affiliate software provides detailed performance reports, allowing businesses to analyze the success of their affiliate marketing campaigns. Reports may include metrics like traffic sources, conversion rates, and revenue generated.

Some leading examples of affiliate software platforms include: 

• Tapfiliate: Tapfiliate is an affiliate, referral and influencer tracking software suitable for small businesses and enterprise clients. With a straightforward user interface, and easy customization it’s a great option.
• Scaleo: Scaleo focuses on online businesses, digital marketers, affiliate networks, and media agencies, assisting with real-time tracking, analytics, and anti-fraud solutions
• Refersion: Refersion assists various B2B and B2C businesses with tracking the performance of their partners, salespeople, and customer referrals. 
• Affise: Affise provides a software focused on B2B businesses, specifically within the SaaS, Fintech, and eCommerce industries.
• LeadDyno: LeadDyno assists businesses with the expansion of their earnings by enhancing customer relationship monitoring and sales performance.

Affiliate Marketing Networks

Affiliate networks are platforms that connect brands and merchants, acting as intermediaries between the two, like a dedicated affiliate manager. Unlike affiliate software, affiliate networks handle the entire process of affiliate marketing from recruitments, relationship management, conversion tracking and payment processing. They are excellent for merchants looking for exposure. 

The key features of affiliate networks include:

• Wide range of affiliates: Affiliate networks have a wide range of affiliates across various industries. This wide selection allows brands to find affiliates that align with their niche, audience, and marketing strategy.
• Simplified partnership process: By acting as intermediaries, affiliate networks simplify the process of finding suitable partnerships for both merchants and affiliates. Instead of individually reaching out to potential partners, brands can browse and connect with affiliates.
• Brand and affiliate support: Many affiliate networks offer support to assist brands and affiliates in their marketing efforts. This may include providing opportunities to brands with affiliates, connecting high performing affiliates to brands, resources, training materials, and personalized guidance to help brands and affiliates optimize their campaigns and drive more conversions.

Examples of affiliate partner networks include: 

• Amazon Associates: As one of the largest and most popular affiliate networks, Amazon Associates is known for its wide range of products and high conversion rates.
• ShareASale: Known for its user-friendly interface and reliable network ShareASale enables affiliates to participate in pay-per-click and pay-per-lead programs in addition to traditional commission-based programs.
• Rakuten Marketing: Rakuten Marketing, formerly known as LinkShare, is a global affiliate network that stands out for its international reach, also offering personalized support and training.
• Awin: Awin is a leading affiliate network that specializes in facilitating partnerships between influencers and brands. It also offers advanced tracking and reporting capabilities, allowing affiliates to monitor their performance in real-time.

What to Think About When Choosing a Network vs a Software

Both affiliate network software and affiliate marketing software can play a vital role in the success of an affiliate marketing program. Both platforms offer an array of benefits for both affiliates and merchants.

Ease of Use

User-friendliness is a major deciding factor for both merchants and affiliates to determine which platform they choose. 

From the affiliate’s perspective, affiliate network programs tend to be more user-friendly as they provide a centralized platform to find and join multiple affiliate programs. Affiliates can use this network to easily browse through different programs, track their performance, and receive payments from one place, making it convenient and efficient for them to manage their partnerships.

On the other hand, affiliate software platforms are more tailored toward merchants or brands looking to manage their own affiliate programs. They may not provide the same level of variety and flexibility for affiliates to choose from. Using software platforms, affiliates would need to individually join different programs on various platforms, which can be time-consuming and less convenient compared to using an affiliate network.

From the merchant’s perspective, affiliate software platforms are more user-friendly as they provide complete control and customization over their affiliate program. Merchants can easily set up, track, and manage their program, as well as communicate with their affiliates, all within one platform. This level of control and customization may not be available on affiliate networks, where merchants have to adhere to the network’s rules and regulations.

Cost structures associated with affiliate networks and software platforms vary depending on the specific platform and the services they offer. Both affiliate networks and affiliate software platforms will typically charge initial fees and monthly fees. 

Affiliate networks will oftentimes charge a fee to join the network, and thereafter a monthly fee. Depending on the platform, they may also charge commission rates on sales generated through their network. As with any service, it will depend on the network what percentage they charge. This could vary, however, as some affiliate networks charge a flat fee. 

Depending on the complexity of your program, fees for the initial setup of your affiliate marketing software will vary. Onboarding your brand into their platform will involve a setup fee, as well as monthly maintenance fees for using the platform. The cost will also vary depending on the features used. A commission fee will typically be charged by the software platform – these charges, again, will depend on the software chosen. 

Control and Customization

There are different levels of control in affiliate marketing software vs affiliate marketing networks. 

The software allows users to have full control over their recruits, marketing strategy and more as, overall, the affiliate program is managed by the user. With software, users also have the option of customizing their look and feel to match their brand. Reporting and data are also completely customizable. 

With affiliate marketing networks, users have limited control over aspects such as program guidelines, commission structures, and payment terms. This is because these are determined by the networks themselves. Typically, within networks, reporting and data are pre-formatted and cannot be altered. 

Support and Community

Each option provides a different level of support for users. 

Affiliate marketing networks provide a wealth of support, from access to account managers, training resources, and guidelines. The focus of these networks is connecting merchants and affiliates. Thus, the need to foster a community presence is not a priority. Many networks, however, will provide optional community forums that the user could access. 

Affiliate marketing software will provide varying levels of support depending on the platform. Some may offer customer support that deals with the affiliate program specifically, while others will provide dedicated tutorials instead of human-interaction. User communities may be available on some software platforms. 

Integration and Scalability

Typically, affiliate marketing networks offer plugins or APIs for platforms and marketing tools, making integration simple. The scalability for networks is limited to their customization abilities (of which, they may not be many). Expanding beyond functionalities may require additional integrations. 

Affiliate marketing software integration can vary according to the complexity of your requirements. Integration is often simpler with popular platforms, but it may take longer to integrate if custom development is required. Scalability for software is high, where users are to customize features, integrations, strategies, reporting and more. 

Reach and Recruitment

It’s no surprise that affiliate marketing networks afford a more extensive reach. You’ll have access to a wide range of affiliates who are ready to be connected with merchants in your niche. Networks also often have built-in recruitment tools, listings, and search functionalities, making it very easy for affiliates to find you.

Software will afford users a more targeted reach through platforms like email marketing and social media. Software users may need to actively recruit through various channels separate from the affiliate marketing software. 

Which Platform is Best for Affiliate Marketing?

The best platform will depend on your specific business requirements, complexities, goals, and resources. As you can see, each of these platforms offers different advantages and disadvantages. 

If you’re just starting out and have limited marketing resources, an affiliate marketing network will offer a quick and simple way to launch your affiliate program . This is especially true if your focus is on brand awareness. 

For businesses with specific niche targeting and a long-term growth plan, an affiliate marketing software is the way to go. The high scalability of software allows you to adapt your program as you grow and add features or functionalities specific to your needs.

For those looking to benefit from both, you’re in luck! Combining affiliate marketing networks and software can be a powerful strategy for best results and it’s completely achievable for any business. 

Enter Tapfiliate

Tapfiliate is an affiliate marketing software that helps businesses manage their affiliate programs. It provides features like creating referral links and coupons, and tracking conversions driven by those links on e-commerce websites or SaaS websites. It can also integrate with various partners, allowing for a multitude of features and benefits!

The success of your affiliate marketing efforts ultimately depends on selecting the right platform that aligns with your business objectives. Take the time to carefully assess your needs, evaluate different platforms, and conduct in-depth research. 

By considering factors such as fees, control, customization, and compatibility with your goals, you can find the affiliate marketing platform that will fuel your success in the online marketplace.
