Tripadvisor Description
Tripadvisor is a US travel platform founded in 2000 and built around traveller reviews. Visitors read opinions and photos about hotels, restaurants and attractions, then compare hotel prices from several booking sites on one page. The platform also sells hundreds of thousands of tours and activities directly, from city walking tours and boat trips to multi-day excursions, and lets diners reserve tables at partner restaurants. Its annual Travelers' Choice awards highlight places that receive consistently strong reviews. Because Tripadvisor covers both research and booking, it fits naturally into destination guides, itinerary posts and travel videos where readers are still deciding what to do and where to stay. Affiliates can join through CJ or Travelpayouts. Commission is earned on bookings and, for hotel comparison, often on qualified clicks to booking partners, which means content does not need to close the sale on the same visit to earn.
