Affiliate Tour Sales: Profitable Partnership Models
How can tour operators establish partnerships with content creators, bloggers, and influencers using the affiliate sales model?

Affiliate model = "commission upon sale" principle. An influencer or blogger refers a customer to you, and if a sale is made, they receive a commission. Risk is low, scalable.
Partnership Types
- Affiliate with link: Custom tracking link, commission on sale.
- Coupon code: Influencer shares their own coupon, earns commission from those who use it.
- UGC (User Generated Content) agreement: Fixed fee + commission in exchange for photo + video.
Commission Range
The industry standard is 8-15%. 15-20% can be given to a high-level influencer, 10% is enough for a small blogger.
Tracking System
Every affiliate gets their own link/coupon. The system automatically assigns which sale came from whom. The Smartur affiliate panel provides this ready-to-use.
Transparent Payment
Fixed monthly payment day + no payments without invoices. Payment duration (T+15 days) and invoice format should be clear in the contract.
