Business Description
Exclusive Airbnb Affiliate Access | Turnkey Team and Operations
Established in 2013, this company has evolved into one of the world's best-known travel blogs with a loyal global audience and proven revenue-generating power. This top-tier travel brand presents a unique opportunity to acquire an established digital asset with industry-leading affiliate commission structures and multiple unexplored revenue streams, offering impressive growth potential for a new owner to capitalize upon.
The business has secured exclusive affiliate partnerships that provide substantial competitive advantages, including higher-than-industry-standard commission structures with many affiliates, such as Booking.com and REI, and rare access to Airbnb's affiliate program, which is extremely difficult to obtain. These superior commission structures, developed over years of relationship-building, transfer completely to the new owner and represent millions of dollars in negotiated value.
With a domain rating of 70 and premium backlinks from BBC, National Geographic, Harvard.edu, and other major publications, the site maintains strong search authority.
The acquisition includes a seasoned 14-person team led by six veteran employees and over 200 comprehensive standard operating procedures. The current owner works less than 5 hours per week. After being involved with the business for over a decade, the founder is ready to move on to his dream project of opening a free-diving retreat center, which the funds from this sale will help achieve.
Consistent six-figure monthly revenues and high 79% profit margins provide a solid foundation for growth. The site's strong brand recognition creates a huge audience to monetize from in a variety of different ways, leading to specialized opportunities based on a buyer’s resources and strategic pursuits. This opens doors for product development, expanded monetization through sponsored content, the relaunch of successful tour operations, and more.
Please note that this company is not SBA eligible.
