Bókun

Bókun, a Tripadvisor company, provides a robust management platform designed specifically for the tours and activities industry. The software serves as a central hub for operators to manage availability, automate customer communications, and handle resource allocation. Beyond internal management, Bókun's standout feature is its Channel Manager and Marketplace, which allows users to instantly connect with over 2,600 resellers and major Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Viator and Expedia. This connectivity helps experience providers scale their operations by reaching a global audience while maintaining synchronized inventory to prevent double-bookings.

The Bókun Affiliate Partner Program is designed for travel professionals, consultants, and content creators who want to refer new operators to the platform. Partners earn commissions on recurring subscription fees for the first 12 months of a referred customer's lifecycle. The program specifically targets the three core paid tiers: START, PLUS, and PREMIUM. Affiliates are provided with a dedicated tracking link and access to an "Affiliate Tool" for performance monitoring and management. It is important to note that commissions apply strictly to the monthly subscription fees and do not include booking fees or other one-time charges incurred by the referred user.

From an affiliate perspective, the program is performance-oriented and non-exclusive, allowing partners to recommend complementary services. The structure is built around high-quality leads; a valid referral must be a new customer not previously involved in Bókun's active sales process within the 60 days prior to submission. Additionally, Bókun offers a separate "Referral Program" for existing users, which provides account credits rather than cash commissions, highlighting the importance of choosing the correct partner path based on whether you are a user or an external marketer.
