What being a host gives you
More than money.
Much more.
Hosting isn't just a side gig. It's a way to build connections, credibility, and a growing income — all on your own terms.
₹500+/hr
Guaranteed base rate from day one — and it only goes up.
Real income, flexible hours
Earn ₹500+ per hour on your own schedule. Host on weekends, mornings, holidays — whenever you're free. No minimum hours, no maximum.
Meet people from across the world
Every tourist you host comes from a different city, culture, or country. Build genuine connections you'd never make in your daily life.
Show off the city you love
You're not following a script. You share what you genuinely love — your favourite lane, the best chai stall, the sunset spot no one knows.
Build a reputation that grows
Every great booking earns a review. Top-rated hosts get featured, attract more tourists, and unlock priority placements as you climb the tiers.
Verified badge — instant credibility
Your Travlink Verified badge signals trust to every tourist browsing. It's a signal that you've been checked, trained, and endorsed.
Your rate grows as you do
Every milestone you complete permanently raises your hourly rate. The Bronze-to-Platinum tier ladder rewards the hosts who go furthest.
