In the bustling world of travel, the quest to capture attention and drive bookings is a perpetual challenge for tour operators. Affiliate marketing enables tour operators greater visibility of offers and boosts sales without any costs, making it highly desirable as part of a marketing strategy.

In the tourism industry, major players like Booking.com, Expedia, Viator, airlines, car rental companies, and the like have long been utilizing affiliate marketing.

Understanding the significance of affiliate marketing for tour operators to easily and independently create their affiliate partnerships, we have created a tool that is an integral part of the BOS travel website builder. Every site created on our platform allows tour operators the establishment of its own affiliate partnership network.

The BOS4.tours travel platform provides tour operators access to creating their own strategic partnerships, enhancing tour visibility without incurring additional costs. Through affiliate marketing, tour operators can independently forge collaborations with relevant partners, amplifying their tour exposure across diverse channels and audiences.

Who can be affiliate partners for tour operators?

These partners can be tourism journalists, bloggers, various travel portals, and even their own clients!

How do affiliate partners earn revenue from tour operators?

By promoting the tour operator’s offers, they increase the visibility of the offers, contribute to achieving more bookings, and are rewarded for their work through the bookings they generate.

How can tour operators offer an affiliate partnership program?

To make this process as simple as possible for both tour operators and their partners, our affiliate program is integrated with the reservation system and our website builder. Therefore, anyone creating a site using our platform automatically has access to their own affiliate partnership program.

How does the affiliate partnership program work for tour operators?

Partner Registration

There are two ways for tour operators to attract their affiliate partners:

  1. Through a registration form on the website page – where anyone who wants to become a partner of that tour operator registers independently.
  2. Automatically, clients who make a reservation for a tour automatically receive an email with access parameters and a link to the tour they reserved, inviting them to invite their friends to join the tour. In our CMS (Content Management System), an email is created that clients will receive after making a reservation, specifying the commission amount the tour operator is willing to pay to their partners.

Creating an Affiliate Program

Following instructions, they can create their tour links, tour themes, or destinations. They can also create white-label pages or search engines that they can embed on their sites (vertical and horizontal).

Communication with Affiliate Partners

Tour operators are advised to create a specific communication channel with their affiliate partners to encourage and regularly inform them about updates in their offers.

Customization

Each tour operator can set specific rules as they desire. For example: whether the affiliate partner receives an email upon the arrival of a new reservation or only at the end of the month as a report on completed reservations. Additionally, each tour operator determines the method of payment for compensation or commission to their affiliate partners.

Information Tracked by Affiliate Partners

Affiliate partners track information about tours booked by their clients/followers, such as tour names, booking dates, travel dates, tour package amounts, and reservation statuses. What they don’t have access to are the personal contacts of travelers: names, phone numbers, and emails.
