Here's how it works...
Painted Circle is a new type of travel marketplace. We are helping traveler spending stay local, instead of being drained out by third-party resellers. Our Radius Travel Pass helps local businesses attract guests while giving great value to visitors - it creates a win/win for travelers AND travel businesses in your community.
And... our Radius Travel Pass is available for you to sell. We share 15% of the purchase price with the partner or affiliate who generates the sale. As an affiliate, you will receive a coupon code for a discount on our Radius Travel Pass that you can share with your audience however you'd like - social media, email newsletters, on podcasts...your choice. All uses of your coupon code are tracked back to you for your earnings.
15% COMMISSION & NO LIMIT
You will earn 15% of the purchase price of every Radius Travel Pass linked to you. There are no limits to how many sales you can generate.
SUPPORT A NONPROFIT
In addition to your earnings, Painted Circle will donate a separate 10% to a nonprofit of your choice.*
COOKIE-FREE TRACKING
Your promotion is tracked using your unique coupon code - it helps you share value with your guests, there's no intrusive data tracking, and there's no cookie expiration.
*The nonprofit you select must already be in our directory of nonprofits that have linked up with Painted Circle. If the nonprofit you want to support is not yet in our community we can invite them!
Promoting Something Ethical
Many travel sites pay for their affiliate programs by charging costly fees to the travel businesses on their sites. Not us. When you promote Painted Circle, you are helping businesses in your community to get direct bookings from guests and keep more money local. Our Radius Travel Pass is a reflection of our values, and something we are truly proud to share!
A message from our founder
Built with purpose as an ethical partner in travel
"I started Painted Circle because I worked as a tour operator for many years and saw the high commissions our business paid to resellers as a HUGE missed opportunity. One day I thought... 'wouldn't it be great to have a platform where all of us operators around the world could come together and cross promote each other and bypass resellers?' Painted Circle was born of that motivation, and the idea that we can create a more circular approach to connecting travelers with places that builds an ecosystem for good, responsible, and even regenerative travel. I built the Painted Circle platform to reflect the values that all practitioners of good travel share: travel must be a force for good, it must be inclusive and welcoming, and that we must work to support balance, collaboration, and empathy."
Charles Odom | Founder of Painted Circle
Our vision
Painted Circle stands apart from mass-market resellers and OTAs - we aim to keep traveler money between travelers and the places they visit and not in our own pocket. Sales of our Radius Travel Pass help fund our platform, and help elevate the businesses and community partners in our network. Being a cross-promotion platform, we empower all businesses on Painted Circle to invite guests to our platform... this creates a little win for Painted Circle and a BIG WIN for everyone in our community.
Inclusion and belonging
We are making big efforts to support inclusion... and not just on the surface. Every business joining Painted Circle is also joining our commitment to running inclusive and welcoming businesses. By being part of Painted Circle, you are showcasing your business as part of our community's belief that travel is for everyone.
