Become an NPTP Partner
We love helping our members and readers explore the National Parks and surrounding areas. This is why we created the National Park Obsessed (NPO) /National Park Trip Planning (NPTP) partner program.
If you have an amazing National Park tour, lodging, or product and would like to be placed in front of engaged readers and members, many of whom are ready to purchase, I’d love to talk to you about the NPTP Partner Program.
Our Travel Deal Center is available for all NPO readers and NPTP Group Members to find travel deals and discounts to help them get the most bang for their buck when traveling in the National Parks.
We prefer to test all products, experiences, and lodging before recommending them to our group. So at the start of the partnership, we may request a product sample or an in-trade experience the next time we are traveling to your area.

We we’re an National Park Trip planning ecosystem and will introduce your product to a new audience
We attract people to our content via a range of different means. Content is shared through our newsletters, Facebook group, search engines, word of mouth, accommodation operators, tour guides, and more.
A February 2025 survey of the NPTP Facebook Group showed that
- 68% of the group are trying to visit all 63 National Parks with:
- 48% said that they were visiting other NPS and area attractions as they go
- 4% are actively trying to visit all 433 NPS units.
- 30% of the group enjoy each park visit as they go and wait to see how many they will get.
- Less than 1% of the group are here to plan a couple of trips.
The majority of the group is planning to visit all the National Parks. For most people, this quest takes several years, and we expect to play an important role in their trip planning along the way.
We’ll also add you to our appropriate categories in the travel hub.
We stay on top of the ever-evolving world of SEO and include you in relevant blog posts. For example, we will include you in our National Park guide for your park.
Once you are in the NPO/NPTP ecosystem, we communicate constantly with our readers and group members via our Facebook group and newsletter, providing continual opportunities to promote your business.

Become a NPTP/NPO Partner
I appreciate your interest in partnering with NPTP/NPO. We have two options for being an NPTP Partner.
The first option is to become a Wilderness Trailblazer. This is our most popular and preferred option. There is no upfront cost. We ask that you provide our members a discount code and provide us a commission every time we convert in exchange for this targeted promotion.
The second option is our Adventure Advocate. This is a more traditional marketing arrangement where, for a fee, you can listed in the Travel Deal Center. Discounts and commissions are not required for this partnership.
Wilderness Trailblazer
Wilderness Trailblazer is our free premium partnership tier.
For this partnership, we ask for a promo code to pass on to our members/readers. When our members book using this code, we are paid a commission for this referral.
As part of this partnership, we also create a short blog post for you (a $300 value) on our site (blog post example). These are indexed, linked throughout our website, and shared extensively in the group.
Benefits of being a Wilderness Trailblazer
You get the promo code brownie points
Who doesn’t love a discount? It encourages our followers to book directly with you. We let our community know that this discount has been passed on from you.
We get Paid when We convert
If we don’t convert bookings, you won’t be charged a cent. So, in the best case, you’ll receive lots of awesome bookings, and in the worst case, you’ll get free/low-cost brand recognition amongst our community at no charge.
We prefer to test all products, experiences, and lodging before recommending them to our group. So at the start of the partnership, we may request a product sample or an in-trade experience the next time we travel in your area.
We charge a reasonable commission on confirmed bookings.
We only charge commission on completed bookings (based on the gross rate).
If we do not convert bookings for you, you will not be charged – it’s as simple as that.
In the meantime, you’ll benefit from amazing brand recognition within our group and on our website.
We work with your existing booking system.
If you already have an affiliate program, we are happy to work within your existing affiliate program.
If you do not have an established affiliate program, let us know, and we will help you set one up within you existing booking/sales system.
You get paid upfront and capture leads directly
We send customers to you so you can collect the payment information and interact with the customer directly. Unlike those big booking platforms, we don’t collect payment from customers – you do.
When you work with us, you won’t need to wait 90 days to get payment. Instead, you’ll be paid upfront, like you would for any direct booking.
We invoice once a month for any commission payable.
Adventure Advocate
Adventure Advocates are NPTP Partners who are are interested in being listed in the Travel Deal Center and would rather pay an upfront fee rather than a commission on sales.

Each listing consists of one photo, a 20-25 word description, and a link to your website.
