Common Questions from Travel Brands
Everything you need to know before launching
How do you verify travel creators have actually visited the destinations?
Creators must provide proof of travel through tagged location data, timestamped photos, and booking confirmations. We manually review portfolios to ensure authentic travel content. Creators who misrepresent their experience are permanently banned from the platform.
Can we track direct bookings from influencer content?
Yes! Each creator gets a unique tracking link or promo code. Our dashboard shows clicks, bookings, revenue, and ROAS by creator in real-time. You can see which creators drive the most valuable traffic and optimize your budget accordingly.
What if we need creators to visit our property for content?
You can offer complimentary stays or experiences as part of the campaign. Specify this in your campaign brief. Many hotels and tour operators use a combination of paid fees + complimentary experiences. Content rights and posting requirements are still contractually binding.
How quickly can we launch for seasonal travel periods?
From campaign brief to content going live: 7-14 days on average. For seasonal campaigns (summer travel, winter holidays), we recommend posting 4-6 weeks in advance. This allows time for creator travel, content creation, approval, and strategic posting timing.
