BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

This top-tier Travel brand presents a unique opportunity to acquire one of the world's best-known travel sites, boasting over a decade of success and a loyal global audience. With industry-leading affiliate structures and multiple unexplored/unoptimized revenue streams, there is impressive potential for a new owner to take advantage of.

Established in 2013, this company has evolved into one of the world's most recognized travel blogs, inspiring millions to travel cheaper and more sustainably. With over 4,000 published posts, a domain rating of 70, 90% organic traffic, and an average of 875K monthly pageviews in the TTM, the site commands a formidable online presence. The business boasts custom affiliate structures with partners such as Booking.com, Airbnb, and REI, far exceeding industry standards. These superior rates allow for higher profit margins and the potential to outbid competitors in paid advertising efforts.

Consistent six-figure monthly revenues and high 79% profit margins provide a solid foundation for growth. The site's strong brand recognition creates a huge audience to monetize in a variety of different ways leading to specialized opportunities based on a buyer’s resources and strategic pursuits. This opens doors for product development, increasing the bookings of specific properties, expanding monetization through sponsored content, relaunching successful tour operations, and more.

Built on a foundation of strong and systematic operations with a very detailed SOP (standard operating procedure) library, this business utilizes a veteran team and systems for all day-to-day operations. The owner works fewer than 5 hours per week. After being involved with the business for over a decade, the founder is ready to move on to his dream project of opening a freediving retreat center, and the funds from this sale will help achieve this dream.

Please note that this company is not SBA eligible due to not having US-based tax returns.
