G.A.P Adventures Announces Launch of Affiliate Marketing Program

G.A.P Adventures, the world leader in adventure travel, announced today its partnership with Commission Junction, a global leader in affiliate marketing and the leader in driving revenue for the travel industry through the affiliate marketing channel. G.A.P Adventures is one of the first adventure travel companies to launch an affiliate marketing program. Overall, adventure travel is one of the fastest growing travel segments.

“We selected Commission Junction for its experience in managing and growing affiliate programs in the travel industry,” said Dan Christian, Director of eCommerce for G.A.P Adventures. “We have been very impressed with the initial uptake of the program and sales activity to date.”

G.A.P Adventures offers Web-site publishers up to 5% commission for each online booking they produce. Interested publishers can apply to the G.A.P Adventures affiliate program through Commission Junction or by visiting the affiliate sign-up page located on G.A.P Adventures Web site.

Commission Junction is the affiliate marketing provider of choice for America's largest retail Web sites.
