TravelPayouts

I first learned about the TravelPayouts.com affiliate program over a year ago, and during this time, I've been able to assess both its strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to drawbacks, there are practically none, but the advantages are plentiful! I stumbled upon the affiliate network by chance and decided to give it a try to earn some extra money. To do this, I created a simple one-page website for booking flights and confirmed that the affiliate program really works and pays out for every order. After that, I developed a full-fledged multi-page website and actively engaged in its promotion. Due to high competition, this is quite challenging, but with patience and effort, good results can be achieved. My experience with the TravelPayouts.com affiliate program continues; the money comes in gradually, and when needed, I reach out to customer support and receive the help I need. I am convinced that TravelPayouts.com is the best affiliate program and an excellent opportunity for additional income for those working in the tourism and travel sector.

Since 2013, I have been collaborating with TravelPayouts. Payments come regularly, overall, everything is quite good, but this affiliate program has both positive and negative sides. The pros include: • a modern interface • high conversion rates • good commissions • convenient search and various tools for webmasters • the ability to export data via API. As for the cons: • extremely slow statistics!!! • several times, hotel sales were not accounted for, even though I definitely made purchases myself! I contacted customer support, the issue was resolved, but my trust was slightly shaken(((

This is one of the best and most reliable affiliate programs in the tourism sector. The payouts are high and occur without delays. I like the convenient statistics and the speed of fund withdrawals. By the way, money can be withdrawn to electronic wallets (such as PayPal, WebMoney, iPayments, Yandex.Money) as well as to a bank account. Definitely, it's better to direct tourist traffic here. In other tourism affiliate programs, you can find either similar offers (at best) or lower commission percentages. There are no serious problems here, sometimes the statistics might lag a bit, but overall – everything is great!

This is the most reliable affiliate program in the tourism sector that I have ever worked with. All the offers are of high quality, and the advertising product looks stylish. If your traffic is focused on tourism, the results will be good. When selling airline tickets or booking hotels, you earn 1-2%, not half like in other cases. However, the amounts are quite large, as tickets start from 20,000. Considering this, you can do the math. Every day, at least 2-3 hotel rooms and 4 airline tickets are booked from my site; right now is the peak season, and the profit will be excellent until autumn. In terms of advertising materials, in addition to standard banners, there are various search forms, WordPress plugins, and White Label options. The selection is simply huge. The list of offers includes many popular tourist destinations, and with a bit of luck, 5-6 sales a day from the site is quite realistic. The key is to place the materials correctly and present them well. For tracking statistics, you can request an API, and they are strict about that. I earn from both my website and a blog dedicated to tourism, so there are good earning opportunities for beginners without a site as well. The downsides are that payments are not set up automatically, and if you need money urgently, the administrators may accommodate you, but that doesn’t happen often.

So far, I haven't found anything better for tourist traffic. There are plenty of advertising materials, fine-tuning options, and excellent support for placement – it's a very friendly partnership, always willing to help, share insights, and even just chat =). Overall, the profit is quite good when you calculate it. Compared to several previous partnerships I've worked with, this one yields 15% more with the same traffic. And that's definitely a plus, not a minus... This is really important. They also have an active forum topic, constantly introducing new features, more advertising materials, methods, and tools, as well as fine-tuning opportunities. In short, they keep getting better. The team is working hard instead of just enjoying millions in revenue, which is truly refreshing. This is rare in the CPA partnership market, so for me, this is currently the best tourist partnership.

The affiliate program collaborates with many large companies in the tourism sector, such as Aviasales, HotelLook, Booking, and others – there are several dozen. The offers relate to tickets, bookings, insurance, and rentals. Becoming a partner is not difficult: you choose an offer, get a link, and go for it. For beginners, contextual advertising, social networks, and forums are suitable. More experienced individuals can create their own landing pages. I work with my own website and use widgets. In my opinion, a well-prepared platform is a better way than just wandering around forums. The earnings are quite decent, although withdrawals are only once a month, but during this time a good amount accumulates (in my case) – from 30,000 and above, since each "operation" can bring up to a thousand rubles. On the other hand, selling cheap products from AliExpress is much easier than selling travel packages online, so not everyone will succeed at this.

Before reaching out to this company, I had been placing banners from various affiliate programs on my travel website, which were somewhat related to the tourism theme. The conversion from them was not very good, and the ads only cluttered the site. On the positive side, I appreciate the presence of "cookie lifetime" – if a visitor doesn't make a purchase decision right away but returns within a month, I still receive my percentage, even if they don't click the link again. The conversion is quite high (sometimes reaching 13%), the payouts are not too large, but the one-time payment is pleasing. For example, if a client books a flight for 40,000 and a hotel for 60,000, I earn about 4,000 rubles. There are 1-2 such purchases made each day, and sometimes there are none at all. In the end, I earn at least 3-4 thousand daily (often people book inexpensive tours), and on average, I manage to withdraw up to 60,000 a month.

A good affiliate program focused on tourism. Payments are made as a percentage of the service's income: for hotel bookings, I can earn between $15 and $30, depending on the booking amount, and for tickets, it's a bit less, averaging around $10. Payments occur after customers pay for their orders. All actions can be tracked in the statistics, and this is perhaps the only downside of the system – the statistics update slowly, sometimes once a day or even less frequently. Sometimes I see not a new request, but the fact of payment (meaning I check the statistics and find that the money has already arrived). It's very easy to place the service widget on my website (the setup is also straightforward), and the conversion rate is about 7%. I withdraw funds to Yandex.Money – the minimum amount is 500 rubles, which is quite low, as such an amount can sometimes come from a single order. On average, I manage to withdraw up to 15-20 thousand a month, less in winter.

First of all, the statistics, to put it mildly, are disappointing; the program only shows clicks, transitions, and actions, which is an outdated way of working. Secondly, promotional materials are changed very rarely, and you have to ask and wait. Thirdly, and this is the most important point, the partner program is {censored}; they refer to advertisers and deduct your earned money for fictitious violations. Tested in practice - I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I've been running my travel group on VK for several years now, and I have about 60,000 subscribers. Compared to regular advertising for other partnerships, I haven't found any significant advantages here, but every month I managed to withdraw around 7-8 thousand (in spring and summer, as well as at the beginning of autumn, and then – almost nothing). In terms of income, the situation is quite disappointing: on average, I received about 1.5% of the ticket price sold and about 3% of the booking amount. The statistics easily allow you to calculate the number of clicks and orders, including paid ones. Money was credited to WebMoney on the 10th of each month, and the transfer took just a few hours. Payment is made in two ways: when purchasing tickets – almost immediately after booking, and for reservations – a week after the client departs. The main advantage is that I placed the link in the group's header and forgot about it; clients do everything themselves, so as a form of passive income, it's not bad. However, you can't earn much here; after all, it's a "seasonal" partnership.
