How can you sell your outdoor activities via travel bloggers?
Manawa's aim is to bring maximum visibility to outdoor and adventure activities around the world. In this article we explain how to sell your outdoor activities via travel bloggers with the help of Manawa!
Activities are becoming increasingly popular when organising your customers' holidays and weekends. Numerous studies even show that it is becoming a key element in the choice of destination. This is already evident in the case of cities and culture, and is accelerating in the case of outdoor activities!
At Manawa we get more and more questions like: What can I do in such and such a place? Where can I do such and such activities in such and such a country? If I want to do a particular sport, where's the best spot?
It was to answer all these questions from our customers that we decided to create our affiliation programme and offer it to many travel bloggers from all over the world.
Why does Manawa work with travel bloggers?
Like many of our customers, the Manawa team are fans of travel blogs! We love organising our holidays and weekends ourselves. We do our research to find the best things to create our perfect trip according to our criteria, which are often very different. So we look for our destinations, our hotels, our means of transport and of course our activities, and travel blogs help us a lot!
Travel blogs make it easy and simple for many customers to organise their holidays, and via our affiliation programme we offer them the chance to promote and sell your outdoor activities and get paid for it!
What is Manawa affiliation?
The affiliation for travel bloggers on the manawa.com booking site is a partnership in which travel bloggers recommend the outdoor and adventure activities offered by Manawa to their readers. The bloggers include special links on their travel blogs, enabling their readers to book outdoor activities via Manawa. In return, the bloggers receive a commission for every booking made thanks to their recommendations. This partnership enables bloggers to monetise their content while offering their readers reliable and relevant travel booking options.
How does Manawa work with travel blogs?
Our affiliation programme is very simple, modelled on the way we work with our partners and, above all, for our customers. The aim is to enable travel bloggers with traffic on various queries of interest to Manawa to redirect their readers to the outdoor activities of our online partners on Manawa.com.
The aim of our affiliation team is to find the best travel bloggers, present them with the interest they might have in highlighting outdoor activities for their readers and then work hand in hand with them to promote the right activities from our partners in the right articles.
For example, in each of the articles below, you will find one or more links to activities on Manawa:

It's a win-win partnership: Manawa pays them 8 to 10% (deducted from our commission) based on the volumes they bring in each time they sell your outdoor activities and you are able to welcome customers.
How can you sell your activities on travel blogs?
Today, affiliation is a difficult acquisition channel for direct business professionals. You need specific technical tools to track bookings and a wide enough range of activities to interest travel bloggers. The vast majority of our travel bloggers are enthusiasts who put forward selected activities to complement their content and add value for the reader, but also to earn money.
The easiest way to do this is to get in touch with websites that promote your activities, such as Manawa (or our competitors), and discuss the possibilities with your regional managers.
At Manawa we do our utmost to ensure that our professional activity partners can take advantage of this acquisition channel. It is included free of charge in the partnership and allows us to bring more volume and visibility.
How can you help us sell more outdoor and adventure activities on travel blogs?
- Have clear products and pretty photos. Travel bloggers need your activities to convert in order to be paid, so they will always choose the best activities to feature in their articles.
- Welcome bloggers recommended by Manawa. We're in regular contact with our travel bloggers, inviting them to let us know when they'll be travelling and trying to help them discover as many outdoor and adventure activities as possible in exchange for articles on their blogs.
- Tell bloggers who have already tried your activities about Manawa. You may have already welcomed travel bloggers who have tried out your activities. Don't hesitate to contact them again (or let Manawa know) to invite them to join the affiliate programme. If we offer to pay them for work already done, they are often very enthusiastic.
- Forward your free trial requests to us. If you're contacted by travel bloggers asking you to test your activities for free and you're having trouble estimating the impact, don't hesitate to send them to Manawa. We'll be able to tell you whether or not it's of interest to you and then invite them to sell your activities on the article they write.
- Encourage your local area (town, region, country) to invite bloggers - Outdoor and adventure activities always need more visibility, so don't hesitate to encourage your local area to invite and welcome people by letting them know that you're ready to help them discover your outdoor activities.
