Travelers' Choice Widget

Overview

This widget displays current Travelers’ Choice-winning hotels, attractions, and destinations in geos that the partner chooses. An automated slideshow will cycle through the winner photos when the page loads, and a user may auto-advance the photos at any time. Each time the page loads, a new list will be displayed.

The widget size is 300x250 pixels. Elements that will be shown in the widget include: the name of the Travelers’ Choice list and Tripadvisor logo, name of property or attraction, geo, rank on the Travelers’ Choice List, scroll arrows to manually advance the slideshow, and a call to action button which opens a new window to a target Tripadvisor page. Revenue sharing can be enabled for the button.

Examples

The Travelers’ Choice Widget can be configured to display hotels, attractions, or destinations that have an active list on Tripadvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/TravelersChoice

For example, “Top 25 Luxury Hotels in Europe” may be chosen in the configuration, but the geo for Rome may not be chosen although several hotels in Rome may be an award recipient. Choosing the Hotels Campaign will provide all categories within that campaign that have a TC-winning list. Ask your Account Executive for more information about which campaigns are available for the regions you are interested in.
