Want to Make $$ While You Travel?
These Travel Affiliate Sites Are a Must.
Hey creators 👋
If you’ve been building content around travel — whether it’s blogging, Reels, or even just sharing your favorite spots on IG — then affiliate links should absolutely be part of your monetization strategy.
I’m always asked how I make passive income while on the road… and it’s not just brand deals.
👉 Affiliate marketing = one of the easiest ways to earn while recommending what you already love. Whether it's hotels, tours, or travel gear — there’s a link (and commission) for that.
So today I’m breaking down the top travel affiliate platforms every creator should be on. Most are free to join, and many don’t require you to have a huge following.

🌍 1. TravelPayouts
This one’s a game changer. You can promote multiple travel brands (like Booking.com, Skyscanner, Trip.com, etc.) through just one dashboard.
Why I love it:
Access to 100+ brands with one account
Real-time reporting & tools like banners, widgets, deep links
Low payout threshold
Easy to use (even for beginners)
💡 Tip: Add deep links to blog posts, travel guides, and flight recommendation threads.
🏨 2. Stay22
If you’re recommending hotels or Airbnbs, this is your go-to. Stay22 lets you embed interactive hotel maps into blog posts or link out via custom affiliate URLs. It shows options from multiple providers like Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia — and you still get commission no matter where they book.
Perfect for:
Blog posts with location guides
Event or itinerary pages
Your travel newsletter
🎟️ 3. GetYourGuide
I use this one a LOT when recommending tours, activities, and experiences.
If you’ve ever said “you HAVE to book this hot air balloon ride in Morocco” — this is the site to link to. You can earn up to 8% commission on bookings.
Best used for:
IG story swipe-ups
Reels or TikToks with activity recs
Day trip roundups in your newsletters or blogs
🎭 4. Headout
Another great one for selling experiences. Headout covers things like museum tickets, walking tours, cooking classes, and more — and they often have city-specific events in Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Why I like it:
High commission rates
You can promote local events and attractions
Great for itinerary-based content
✈️ 5. Viator
Another big player like GetYourGuide, Viator offers thousands of bookable tours and experiences around the world. You can grab links, widgets, or product collections easily.
Perfect for:
Travel guides
Instagram captions with local recs
Linking under your YouTube videos or blog itineraries
💬 Final Tips
👉 Always disclose affiliate links — your audience will respect the transparency
👉 Track what performs best (ex: hot air balloon rides > food tours)
👉 Include links where people are ready to book: trip planning guides, newsletters, captions, Pinterest pins
