I have a nice travel site with tons of real content. It is time for me to start the move to monetizing it. I have been talking with several travel co-branding companies and have yet to find one that offers exactly what I want. It could be co-branded or it could just offer a back end we could incorporate into the site. I want a company that shares profits and takes care of all customer service, booking, communication, etc. Anyone willing to talk to me? Thanks
try IAN.com they are the largest. Also Hotels.com has a nice cobranding option. I talked with many owners of city.com's in the last few months and most of them use Hotels.com and love it!
Thanks Travlocity has a partner / co-brand as well. I am looking for a niche though that targets tropical vacations; Caribbean, Hawaii, South Pacific, and cruises etc..
Try checking on Travel Agent's association. You will definitely find some good ones. If you want commission on airline tickets - well they are next to none. If you want commission on packaged tours - they are good but it is difficult to find who sells packaged tours online through co-branding (or may be its me who has bad luck finding good sites as such).
