A practical checklist before a booking or partnership

First decide whether you are planning a trip or publishing travel content. A booking marketplace and an affiliate platform solve different problems; compare like with like.

  • For an activity, check the exact date, duration, location, meeting point, what is included and the cancellation terms.
  • For a publisher program, review current eligibility, tracking, attribution and payment conditions in the official terms.
  • Compare the full details of alternatives rather than relying on a title, promotional claim or referral link.
  • Recheck availability and terms at the provider before booking or applying, because these can change.
