However, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpayouts.com\/blog\/travel-trends\/\">the post-covid trends of 2021 changed the game<\/a>. Now, many hotel platforms offer private vacation rental options. Below is a list of best hotel affiliate programs that can partly replace Airbnb Associates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Program<\/td><td>Commission<\/td><td>Cookie Lifetime<\/td><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Booking.com<\/td><td>4% of the booking price<\/td><td>1 session<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/programs\/84\/about\">Join \u2013&gt;<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Expedia UK<\/td><td>6%<\/td><td>30 days<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/programs\/163\/about\">Join \u2013&gt;<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Agoda<\/td><td>6%<\/td><td>1 day<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/programs\/104\/about\">Join \u2013&gt;<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trip.com<\/td><td>5%<\/td><td>30 days<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/programs\/121\/about\">Join \u2013&gt;<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tripadvisor<\/td><td>50% of TripAdvisor\u2019s earnings<\/td><td>14 days<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/tripadvisor-affiliate-program\">Join \u2013&gt;<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A full list of the best hotel programs can be found in Travelpayouts&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpayouts.com\/brands-directory\/accommodation\">brands directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a hotel affiliate program as an alternative to Airbnb Associates, remember that Airbnb customers want to stay in private, one-of-a-kind vacation rentals. You may see a drop in revenue if you send the same audience to hotel bookings.

The average conversion rate of widgets from clicks to bookings is 2.1% in the Accommodation category (in comparison, for partner links, the conversion rate is 0.62%). Widgets make the customer journey shorter, attract the attention of readers, and help visitors compare several options and choose the best one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose an Airbnb affiliate program alternative depending on what type of traffic you have, what your audience is interested in, and what affiliate tools you need. You can also join partner programs with which you can earn money not only on hotels, but also on other travel services. For example, this is possible with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/expedia-affiliate-program\">Expedia UK<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/tripadvisor-affiliate-program\">Tripadvisor<\/a> partner programs. On these sites, travelers can book hotels as well as tours and activities. The cookie lifetime for these partner programs is several days. So, if a user follows your link to the hotel page and books a tour the next day, you\u2019ll receive a reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Travelpayouts partnership platform, you will find more than 100 travel brands, including Booking, TripAdvisor, Hotellook, Hostelworld, and other offers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/\">Join<\/a> the Travelpayouts to earn on accommodations and other travel services.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-shortcode cta-block-register --blue  \">\n    <div class=\"cta-block-register__image --right\"><\/div> \n    \n    <div class=\"cta-block-register__content\">\n        <div class=\"cta-block-register__content-wrap\">\n            <h5 class=\"cta-block-register__title tpe-title-m\">\n                Join the Travelpayouts partnership platform\n            <\/h5>\n\n            \n\n            <a class=\"cta-block-register__link tpe-btn-default tpe-btn cta-shortcode__btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/?tp_place=leadblock\" target=\"_blank\" sp-signup>\n                Join today\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"tag --a\">\n                <span>Earn more with <em>Drive AI<\/em><\/span>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"tag --b\">\n                <span><em>600k<\/em> partners already trust us<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"tag --c\">\n                <span><em>90+<\/em> travel<br>brands<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airbnb has shut down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/associates\">their affiliate program \u2013<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/associates\">Airbnb Associates<\/a> at the end of March 2021.
