Awin Partner Top 10s – Travel Affiliates

The travel industry is booming with consumer demand flooding back since the dark days of the pandemic and lockdown restrictions. 2024 is expected to be a record year for airlines with IATA predicting they’ll carry more than 4.7 billion passengers into the skies, eclipsing 2019’s record of 4.5 billion for the first time.  

Travel is one of the more complex products to book though. It’s a high value purchase which involves a lot of consideration and comparison, and every traveller wants to ensure their trip is the best it can possibly be. With that in mind, the path to purchase can be a long one consisting of a range of different online resources and touchpoints – many of them affiliates. 

From your favourite TikTok travel influencer to a leading price comparison website or frequent flyer points portal, affiliate partners can help travellers discover their next dream destination and maximise their budget to ensure their trip is one to remember. 

This month, our affiliate experts have picked out a selection of their favourite travel partners from the numerous ones available on the Awin platform.
