For businesses
Reach international travellers while they plan their trip to Portugal, through clearly labelled, editorially reviewed placements that respect both our readers' trust and your business goals.
What we offer
We write for international travellers, mainly from the UK, US, Canada and Western Europe, who are planning a trip to mainland Portugal, Madeira or the Azores.
Article level
A branded card in one specific article for the contract period, such as a Porto travel guide or a guide to getting from Lisbon airport to the city. Same visual quality as our editorial cards, with a clear "Featured Partner" label.
Category level
Your card appears across every article in a defined category: for example, all car hire articles, all Algarve restaurant guides or all transfer-related articles.
Listings
Restaurants, hotels, tour operators and transfer companies can appear as Featured Partners within relevant destination guides. A listing includes a photo, a description written in our editorial voice, signature details, booking guidance and a labelled row in our at-a-glance comparison tables.
Commission
If you run an affiliate or referral program with competitive terms, we can explore an affiliate relationship instead of, or alongside, a Featured Partner placement.
The rules
So you know exactly what you're buying, these rules apply to every article:
Vetting
Before accepting a Featured Partner, we check that:
For restaurants and hotels, where possible, a member of our team or one of our contributors who lives in Portugal visits in person. Where a visit isn't feasible, we use a documented, credentials-based check: review trail, a conversation with the owner, and public-source verification of licences such as RNAAT for tour operators and RNAL/RNET for accommodation.
Pricing
We don't publish a fixed rate card because no two placements are the same. Price depends on three things:
Factor 1
A placement on a high-intent commercial article, such as Lisbon airport transfers, is priced differently from one on a niche destination guide.
Factor 2
Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve and Madeira are priced differently from emerging or smaller destinations such as the Alentejo coast, Peneda-Gerês or the smaller Azores islands.
Factor 3
Seasonal, annual or multi-year terms; exclusive (one Featured Partner per category) or non-exclusive.
Placements start from €150, our entry point for small businesses (single-location restaurants, family-run guesthouses, single-vehicle transfer operators) on smaller destinations, sold seasonally. Annual sitewide category exclusives on our highest-traffic pages are quoted individually.
Tell us what you're interested in and we'll send a specific quote within 3 business days, with an explanation of how we arrived at the number.
Launch offer
Portugal Trip Planner is new. Through the 2027 season, we're offering Founding Partner terms to the first 1–3 businesses in each destination or category.
Off the table
Some things aren't available at any budget. We list them publicly so we don't waste each other's time.
