Worldlinks/WorldVacations has formed strategic alliances with publishers, hotels, tour companies and technology companies. We are always exploring new alliances with creative businesses interested in leveraging our rich database of hotels, traffic, content and technology.
Online Reservations for Hotels, Villas, Resorts, Bed & Breakfasts and Inns Worldwide
Worldlinks/WorldVacations has created a powerful tool for generating revenue for our accommodations providers: We market small hotels and resorts via our proprietary distribution and reservations booking program. We work with individual properties to help them gain an Internet presence and market and book reservations for them online. We handle building the web site, marketing, the online transaction / credit card processing and online & phone customer support. The only thing our hotel partners need to do is show our clients a fabulous time.
Promotional and Advertising Opportunities
Our partners gain unique opportunities to promote themselves to the users and members of the Worldlinks/WorldVacations community. We run many niche travel guides each using the DiscoverCountry.com theme: like DiscoverMexico.com and DiscoverEurope.com.
Partners can target advertising and sponsorships to specific subsets of the community by tying their promotions to specific content areas. For example, a partner offering products or services to scuba divers can tie its message to destination specific guides covering popular scuba diving destinations.
Targeted promotions can take the form of sponsorships, banners or buttons on
the WorldVacations.com sites, communications in newsletters to members, or any
other appropriate methods that best fit our partners' needs.

Regional Travel Guide Owners
Do you own or run an Internet based travel guide or have an established travel section for your site? If so, it is possible for you to partner with WorldVacations.com. There are two ways you can partner with us.
1.) We can provide you the ability to run our technology and hotel properties with your 'look and feel' and earn a percentage on each booking that comes from your site.
2.) For partners that want to take a partnership to the next level, you can go out and actually sign hotel agreements in your region and earn a larger percent of each booking. Each time you sign a new property you become the 'contract owner' for that property. Then no matter where (which site) the booking comes from you earn a percentage of the sale. Even if the sale originates on a different site than yours, you still earn the 'contract owner' commission for the properties you sign. To participate in this program you are required to undergo our training program and take on additional responsibilities including: prospecting and signing the hotel booking agreement, entering hotel data in our reservations database and building the hotel property pages (including text and graphics). Not everyone qualifies for this program and only serious, professional and established businesses should inquire about this partnership.
Editorial Content Partners
Worldlinks/WorldVacations is expanding its content holdings rapidly, and is in active negotiations with several major travel publishers regarding agreements similar to the Hunter Publishing license. We are seeking to run publishers content in exchange for becoming a reseller of your printed books and/or licensing.
Syndicate our Content and Commerce
For potential partners interested in acquiring portions or all of our excellent
content, we will assemble a package that best fits the partner's needs,
and will make all necessary arrangements with the original authors. We will
then create a channel on your site to run our content in portions or it's entirety
combined with our commerce, reservations system and customer support. In return
your users receive top of the line travel information and a trusted name to
help plan their next vacation. You receive a portion of each reservation that
comes from your channel and a share of the banner displays.
