Travlink connects international tourists with verified local hosts across India. We are building a network of trusted local businesses that our hosts recommend — hotels, cabs, restaurants, experiences, and more. Joining is free. The tourists are real.
Travlink's partner network is open to any local business that makes a visitor's experience in your city better. We are not looking for tourist-trap shops or generic chains — we are looking for the businesses that real locals trust and recommend.
From established properties to family-run guesthouses. If you have rooms and you look after your guests well, Travlink tourists are looking for exactly what you offer.
AccommodationAirport transfers, city rides, outstation trips. Our tourists specifically want safe, reliable, no-haggle transport — and they trust who their host recommends.
TransportHeritage establishments, beloved neighbourhood dhabas, street food legends. If locals eat at your table, international tourists will want to as well.
Food & diningHandicrafts, textiles, jewellery, handmade goods. Tourists guided by a Travlink host want to buy from places that are real and genuine, not tourist-trap markets.
Retail & craftCooking classes, heritage walks, photography tours, cultural workshops — anything that adds depth and meaning to a city visit.
ExperiencesIf you serve travellers well and you are genuinely local, Travlink wants to know about you. Our partner network is intentionally broad — because great cities are built on thousands of small, excellent businesses.
Open categoryA listing on a directory is passive. A recommendation from a Travlink host is something different entirely. When our hosts guide a tourist through your city, they are answering real questions in real time — where should I stay, how do I get to Agra, where do locals actually eat around here. When a host recommends your business, it carries the weight of a trusted local friend's opinion. Not an algorithm. Not a paid placement. A verified local, vouching for you personally, to a tourist who is already listening.
“My host took me to a hotel I would never have found on Booking.com. She said she sends all her tourists there because the owner is honest and the location is perfect. That recommendation alone saved me an hour of research and I slept better than anywhere else on the trip.”
“I asked my host for a cab to Agra the next morning. He called his regular driver, gave me his number, and said this is the only person I would trust for that route. The driver was there at 5am, exactly on time. No negotiation. No stress.”
That is the kind of referral no advertising budget can buy. Travlink gives it to your business — for free — through the trust that local hosts have built with every tourist they guide.
Travlink partner status is not a yellow pages listing. It is an active position inside the travel experience of every tourist our hosts guide through your city.
Your business appears on tourist-facing pages across Travlink — when a visitor is browsing hotels, transport, or restaurants in your city, your listing is there. Discoverable 24 hours a day, in every city Travlink serves.
Travlink's verified local hosts actively recommend partner businesses to every tourist they guide. As our host community grows across cities, so does the volume of warm, trust-backed referrals your business receives — without spending a rupee on advertising.
Travlink tourists are international travellers from Europe, Asia, and beyond — with real spending intent, already in your city, looking for trustworthy recommendations. These are not casual browsers. They are tourists who have already committed to their trip and are ready to spend.
There is no listing fee, no monthly subscription, and no commission taken from your business. Joining Travlink's partner network costs nothing and requires no ongoing payment. We grow our community — you grow your business.
Free foreverThe whole process takes under a week. Most partners are listed and discoverable within 3–5 days of applying.

Live within 3–5 daysWhen a tourist asks their Travlink host for a hotel, cab, restaurant, or any service — verified hosts recommend their trusted partner businesses by name. You receive a warm referral from a local who knows the tourist personally. No cold clicks. No paid placement. Just trust.
The most powerful referral in travelOur partner network is not a place for global hotel brands or tourist-trap souvenir shops. It is being built for the businesses that real locals love — the family-run guesthouse, the cab driver who has never overcharged anyone, the restaurant that has been on the same corner for forty years.
If that sounds like you, this is your platform.
Clean rooms, honest prices, and the kind of warmth a chain hotel cannot replicate. Travlink tourists are exactly the guests you have always wanted.
You show up on time, you do not overcharge, and your passengers feel safe. International tourists will trust you because their host told them to.
No inflated tourist menu, no kickback arrangements. Just food that is real, local, and worth travelling for. Our hosts eat here themselves — that is why they recommend you.
Handmade, heritage, or hyper-local. Tourists guided by a Travlink host are not looking for mass-produced souvenirs. They are looking for what you make.
Yes, completely. Travlink is in its launch phase and our partner programme is free to join and free to stay in. No listing fee, no commission, no hidden charges — now or in the future for founding partners.
Once listed, your business is visible to all verified hosts in your city. Hosts who know and trust your business can recommend it to tourists through the platform. We also share partner listings with hosts during their onboarding so they are aware of every business in their city.
Any local service provider who serves travellers — hotels, transport, restaurants, experiences, shops, and more. We welcome all categories. If you serve tourists genuinely and you are local, you qualify.
Yes. We are expanding city by city and are onboarding partners in advance of each launch. Apply now and your listing will go live when Travlink reaches your city — which means you are already visible to hosts from day one of the city launch.
Through two channels. First, directly on Travlink's tourist-facing pages when they browse services in your city. Second, and more powerfully — through host recommendations, when a verified local guide suggests your business in real time to a tourist they are personally guiding.
It takes about 5 minutes. You fill out a short form with your business name, city, category, a brief description, and your contact details. We review every application personally and you will hear from us within 3 business days. No lengthy documentation or sales calls required.
Whether you run a hotel, a cab service, a restaurant, or something entirely different — if you serve travellers genuinely and well, Travlink wants you in our network.
