WorldBy.Com launches the Affiliate Program

WorldBy.Com will provide the ability to access over 5,000 selected properties (Hotels, Villas, Farmhouses…) in 20 different travel destinations in Europe.

Thanks to the Affiliate Program, WorldBy.Com will allow the affiliates to either book hotel stays earning a commission (this is good for travel agents having to reserve a room in order to build a travel package in behalf of their customers), or add a link on the Affiliates’ websites delivering the WorldBy.Com catalogue to their visitors, and earning a commission on every valid reservation booked on WorldBy.Com’s catalogues.

The Affiliate will be entitled to earn a percentage up to 5% of the Reservation net value.

WorldBy.Com Affiliate Program offers:

Selected Properties. All the Hotels & Resorts are visited, assessed and selected before publish them online.

Detailed Information & Photographic Content - WorldBy.Com’s catalogue describes each Hotel with its own web site of 10 pages of descriptions and information and a "photo gallery" of 30 to 60 images.

Lowest Price Guarantee - Having direct contracts with the Hotels and a very low percentage ourselves (we earn only a 10%) we can assure the lowest rates. If a traveller finds a better price for the reserved accommodation within 24 hours from the booking, we’ll refund the higher price paid on WorldBy.Com’s sites.

Direct Contact Guest / Accommodation - Travellers can "Instant-book" Hotels & Resorts, or receive a personal assistance by "conversing" directly with the Hotel via e-mail before booking the accommodation.

Continuous Customer Satisfaction Survey - WorldBy.Com runs a continuous Customer Satisfaction Survey vetting the opinions of each traveller on the reservation service received and the quality of the properties. This gives WorldBy.Com fine quality control over reservation services and properties published online: along with our assessment activity and selection described above, this assures the lowest complaint ratio of the industry.

Not only Hotels - Our competitors give you access to only-hotels databases: we feature also cottages, farmhouses, castles, villas and bed & breakfast: a wider range of accommodation options! Imagine if your travellers wanted to book a stay in a farmhouse or a cottage in Tuscany or Provence: it’s nearly impossible through our competitor’s websites!
