How Hosted Trips Work

← Back to Hosted Trips

Launching a Hosted Trip follows four steps, from completing your host onboarding to earning commission after your group travels.

Step 1 — Complete your host onboarding

In the Partner Portal, navigate to Hosted Trips and complete the short onboarding form to set up your host profile. This includes linking your social channels so operators can see who you are. A complete profile helps your trip requests move faster.

Step 2 — Pick your destination and tour

Once onboarding is done, browse available destinations and tours directly in the portal. Each listing shows the minimum number of seats required to confirm the departure and unlock your complimentary spot, the commission rate, and the operator's cancellation cut-off deadline. When you find a trip that fits your audience, click Request to host to connect with the operator and get started.

Step 3 — Personalise your trip page

Every tour comes with a ready-to-use Tour Detail Page built by the operator, including the full itinerary, pricing, photos, and booking functionality. You can use it exactly as the operator designed it, or make adjustments to add your personal touch — such as adding your Host Moment or a note to your community. Your audience books directly through this page; you just share the link.

Step 4 — Share & Earn

Share your trip page across your channels — social posts, stories, newsletter, or link-in-bio. Every traveller who books through your page earns you commission. Once the minimum group size is reached, your spot on the trip is complimentary.

Cancellation cut-off: Each operator sets a deadline — a number of days before departure — by which you must notify them if the trip needs to be cancelled due to low bookings. If you cancel before this deadline, no cancellation fees apply to you or any of your travellers. If this deadline passes and the trip is then cancelled, cancellation fees will apply to all confirmed bookings including yours. The cut-off date is shown on each tour listing before you request to host.
