Millions of travelers use Tripadvisor each month to research and plan their perfect trip.

Accommodations, restaurants and attractions can be listed on Tripadvisor for free. Getting listed is easy and will increase your business’s exposure to a large audience.

There are two ways to get listed: a representative from your business can request a listing, or a Tripadvisor user can write a review of your property and initiate a listing.

Before you request a listing, go to www.tripadvisor.com/Owners to see if a traveler has already added your business to Tripadvisor.

Type the name of your business in the box. If it appears in the results drop down, a traveler has already initiated a listing. Select your business from the drop down and then click the “Claim Your Business” button to confirm that you are affiliated with the property.

If your business is already listed, you should claim that listing as your own instead of creating a new one. Tripadvisor only allows one listing per property.

If your business is not listed on Tripadvisor yet, there won’t be any matches in the drop-down search results. In that case, click the “Get listed now” link below the search box. This will bring you to a page where you can request a listing for your property.
