How Much Are You Leaving on the Table? Monetize the Guest Experience with TripShock’s Affiliate Program

| April 24, 2025 | 4 Min Read

Your Guests Want More Than Just a Place to Sleep

Your vacation rental business thrives on delivering a great stay — but your guests are planning for more than just a bed. For many, this is the big trip: The one they’ve saved for, researched, and want to make unforgettable.

A family of four is spending $300+ per week on vacation activities in the U.S.* — and, trust us, they’re going to book those experiences no matter what.

Here’s what they’re already planning in top TripShock markets:

  • Dolphin and sunset cruises
  • Parasailing and jet skis
  • Snorkeling and shelling tours
  • Deep-sea fishing charters
  • Boat rentals and private charters

But now, the big question is this: If they’re spending that money either way, why not make sure some of it lands in your pocket?

Benefits of TripShock’s Affiliate Program for Hosts and Guests

Did you know 76% of travelers book tours and activities before they even arrive?**

With TripShock, you can be the hero your guests didn’t know they needed — helping them plan smarter, save time, and avoid the overwhelm of endless online research. You can make it easy to reserve top-rated excursions that feel like a natural part of their stay, all while keeping the experience aligned with your brand. It’s seamless, guest-friendly, and completely hands-off way to bolster your revenue.

Ask Yourself…

  • Are you offering guests a simple, trusted way to book the activities they’re already planning?
  • Are you recommending great local experiences — but not earning anything for it?
  • Are you using your guest communications — like pre-arrival emails or your website — to deliver helpful tips and generate revenue?
  • Are you making it easy for your team to support guests with local suggestions, without extra coordination or effort?

If not, TripShock and our white label booking portal can help fill the gap — while also offering real value to your guests.

They enjoy:

  • A trusted, easy-to-use, co-branded and fully customizable booking platform to plan their trip
  • Freedom to choose the activities that actually matter to them
  • A smoother, less stressful vacation — thanks to recommendations that feel personal, not generic

You’re not just promoting things to do. You’re enhancing the guest experience and building long-term loyalty — all while unlocking revenue that’s been sitting right in front of you.
