Hey, we’re glad you landed on this page! You’re probably wondering what we’re all about. Perhaps a globetrotting friend hyped us up, or you found us while hunting for the coolest group trips online. However you landed here, you’re probably wondering: what is TourHero, exactly? What do we do? Are we some kind of travel agency? A platform for influencers, maybe? Who gets to be a “TourHero”? And why would I even want to be one? All fantastic questions! We’re here to break it down for you.
What is TourHero?
In this primer, we’ll explain how TourHero works. Whether you’re interested in partnering with us or traveling with us, this page will tell you all you need to know. In a nutshell, TourHero is a game-changing platform designed to bring communities together and make dream trips happen. Here’s how:
- The TourHero platform enables a trip host (also known as a “TourHero”) to make their dream trips happen. Anyone can be a host and start planning with us for free!
- TourHero does the heavy lifting of vetting local on-the-ground professionals (tour operators) who speak the language, provide the best guides, and book the best hotels to ensure trips are effortless and activities happen seamlessly.
- Hosts have the ability to customize plenty of options on their dream trip before launching it to the world. Choose from a large variety of locations, activities, accommodations, and more. Best of all, as a host, you can speak with us to build a margin for the cost of the trip so you can take home some earnings, too!
What’s the difference between a TourHero host and a traveler?
For hosts
- Hosting a trip with us and becoming a “TourHero” is a fantastic way to grow your brand, generate exciting content, and strengthen your community by taking a group trip together. The problem is, doing all that by yourself can get complicated and expensive. By using TourHero, all you have to do is approach us, pick a destination, set your margin, and promote it to your followers to start getting bookings on your trip!
- We do the heavy lifting by vetting local professionals who know the ins and outs of their region. They speak the language, provide the best guides, and book top-notch hotels to ensure your trip is seamless and unforgettable. As a TourHero host, you have the power to customize plenty of details — choose from a wide array of locations, activities, accommodations, and more. Whether it’s a wellness retreat in Mexico, or an adventure trek in Patagonia, the possibilities are endless. You just need to speak to our experts and we’ll handle the hard stuff.
For travelers
- Anyone can join a host’s trip! Usually, you’d find out about these trips through communities that the hosts are part of, but you can also explore newly launched trips on our TourHero Explore page to see if you’d like to join an upcoming adventure.
- Like the hosts, join-in travelers won’t have to worry about planning the trip from scratch — all inclusions are mentioned on the booking page, just choose an adventure that suits your budget and travel style!
Why should I plan a trip with TourHero?
Hosting a trip with TourHero is a fantastic way to grow your brand, generate exciting content, and strengthen your community by taking a group trip together. Here’s how we make it easy and beneficial for you:
1. Effortless planning: We handle the logistics
Planning a trip can be complicated and time-consuming. Imagine trying to coordinate flights, accommodations, activities, and transportation for a group of enthusiastic travelers. It’s a lot of work! But with TourHero, all you need to do is pick a destination, set your margin, and promote the trip to your followers. We take care of the rest — figuring out the itinerary, setting up transportation, finding activities, booking accommodations, and overcoming any language barriers. You get to focus on what you do best: engaging with your community and raising awareness about your epic dream trip!
For example, let’s say you’re a fitness influencer and you’d like to organize a wellness retreat in Bali. With TourHero, you don’t have to worry about finding the perfect beachfront villa, organizing daily yoga sessions, or planning excursions to the island’s famous rice terraces and waterfalls. We handle all those details for you.
2. No upfront costs: Risk-free hosting
Worried about upfront costs? Don’t be. With TourHero, there are no pre-payments or hidden fees. You only get paid when a trip is confirmed, ensuring that your efforts are always rewarded. This means you can start planning and promoting your trip with confidence, knowing that you won’t be out of pocket.
3. Boost your brand: Create exclusive content
Hosting a trip is a unique opportunity to create exclusive, engaging content. Imagine live-streaming a sunrise hike up a volcano, posting stories of your group enjoying a traditional cooking class in Italy, or sharing photos of a sunset cruise along the Greek islands. Share your adventures in real time, connect with your audience on a deeper level, and enhance your brand’s authenticity by experiencing and sharing incredible destinations together. Whether you’re a yoga instructor, a destination food blogger, a fitness coach, or a content creator, you’ll get to boost your influence by connecting with others on a trip while creating great content.
4. Travel for free: Enjoy the perks
Want to travel for free? Host a trip with a minimum number of participants, and your costs are covered! You’ll get to explore new destinations at no expense while leading your community on an unforgettable journey. Think about taking a group to the vibrant streets of Marrakech, guiding them through the colorful souks, and experiencing the magic of the Sahara Desert — all without spending a dime. It’s the ultimate win-win situation!
5. Comprehensive support: We’ve got your back
From the moment you decide to host a trip, TourHero provides full support. Our on-the-ground team handles all logistics, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for you and your travelers. Focus on bonding with your community while we take care of the details
For instance, if you’re planning a cultural tour of Peru, you don’t need to worry about securing tickets to Machu Picchu, arranging local guides who speak English, or finding the best spots for group meals. Let that to us.
6. Flexible financing: Easy payment plans for travelers
Worried about trip costs for your followers? Our flexible payment plans let them spread out payments over several months, making it easier for everyone to join the adventure. Travel now, pay later, and make the dream trip accessible to more people.
