How it works
The Travel Creator Program helps individuals and businesses earn income by promoting travel properties on social media, and payments arrive whenever someone books through your links. Travel Shops, a feature in the app, lets creators gather hotel and trip recommendations into a single link shared with their audience. Creator Toolbox, a mobile tool, provides a link builder, widgets, and banners to share curated picks on the go. Creators can also submit videos of recommended stays; accepted videos carry a non-exclusive license while you keep ownership and reuse rights. A performance dashboard with link-level reporting shows how your bookings are performing.
