Advertise with Holiplanet
Hotels, restaurants and real estate agencies can reach two valuable audiences through our digital City Guides and our free printed guides, distributed across each destination.
Varenna, Lake Como
Who you reach
People come to Holiplanet for a place they care about. Some are planning a trip, others are ready to own a piece of it. Our guides speak to both, which is why your business can meet them at the moment that matters.
Travellers use our City Guides to decide where to sleep, where to eat and what is worth their time, first online while they plan, then in print while they walk the city. They look for places with character and they trust a guide that is selective.
Best for: hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, cafés and wine bars.
Many of our readers return to the same destination until they start looking at homes. International buyers, second-home seekers and long-term tenants find property on Holiplanet next to the guides of the cities they already know and love.
Best for: real estate agencies, developers and property managers.
Where you appear
The digital City Guide reaches people before they arrive. The printed guide stays with them during their stay. Use one or combine both for continuous presence.
Our City Guides on holiplanet.com are where travellers plan their days and choose where to stay and eat. Each guide links to curated directories of hotels, restaurants and real estate agencies and to the city's Media Gallery.
A free printed edition of the City Guide is distributed at hotels, restaurants and points of interest across the city. Travellers pick it up on arrival and use it day after day, often taking it home as a keepsake.
Advertising options
Every plan is built around your city, your goals and your season. Here is what is available for each type of business.
Guests choose a hotel long before they arrive and often ask the hotel itself where to eat and what to see. Holiplanet places your property in front of them while they plan, and your hotel is also a natural distribution point for the printed guide.

Where to eat is the question travellers ask most, and they ask it several times a day. Your restaurant can be there when they plan their evenings online and when they open the printed guide on the way to dinner.

Interest in property starts with the destination. Holiplanet connects the guides people read with a marketplace where they can buy or rent, so your agency reaches international buyers and tenants who already know and love the city. Beyond advertising in the digital and printed guides, we offer a complete set of services for agencies and developers.
Publish your properties for sale and for rent: they appear in the property search of our digital City Guides. How it works
Upload your whole portfolio at once and keep it up to date, without entering properties one by one.
Tell us what you want to sell and start receiving qualified enquiries from buyers in target. How it works

Holiplanet Marketplace · For agencies
Every digital City Guide has its own property search. When your agency publishes on the Holiplanet marketplace, your homes for sale and for rent appear right there, in front of people who are already exploring that destination.

You bring the property, we bring the buyers. We build the campaign around your listing and the people most likely to buy it, and we send you the enquiries.
A single property, a new development or a portfolio: location, type, price range and the buyer you are looking for.
A dedicated landing page for the property or project, promoted to buyers and investors interested in that destination.
Contacts in target arrive directly to your team, ready for you to follow up and close the sale.
The printed City Guide
Ads are designed to sit naturally within the guide, in the same visual style, so readers see them as part of the experience rather than an interruption.
Technical specifications, distribution points and editions for each city are included in the media kit.
The Holiplanet Como City Guide
Our editorial promise
Every paid placement, online and in print, is marked as sponsored. Readers always know what they are looking at.
Our editorial picks, including the Holiplanet Pick, are never for sale. They are based on the guide's own research and on public reviews.
A guide that readers trust is a guide they actually use. That trust is what gives your advertising its value.
