Booking.com

Booking.com is one of the world's largest travel marketplaces. While primarily a place to spend money on hotels, it offers a massive "Affiliate Partner Program" that allows anyone to earn money by referring travelers. With over 28 million listings, affiliates can monetize travel blogs, social media, or apps easily.

Additionally, Booking.com allows property owners to list their apartments, homes, or B&Bs for rent, similar to Airbnb. It is a legitimate and dominant force in the travel industry, offering robust monetization tools for content creators and property owners alike.
