G.A.P Adventures is one of the first adventure travel companies to launch an affiliate marketing program. Overall, adventure travel is one of the fastest growing travel segments.

“We selected Commission Junction for its experience in managing and growing affiliate programs in the travel industry,” said Dan Christian, Director of eCommerce for G.A.P Adventures. “We have been very impressed with the initial uptake of the program and sales activity to date.”
