Who We Work With
Independent guides, tour operators, and birding lodges.
Whether you lead day trips across Cape May in fall migration, multi-week Colombia Andes expeditions, or run an eco-lodge in the Philippines — if serious birdwatchers are your customers, AvianScope is your platform.
Independent Guides
Solo birding naturalists and expert guides who lead day or multi-day trips in a specific region or country.
Tour Operators
Small to mid-size companies running fixed-departure or custom birding tours, often across multiple regions.
Eco-Lodges
Nature lodges with resident guides or birding packages — where the destination itself is the draw.
Why AvianScope
Built for birding. Built for operators.
Qualified, high-intent traffic
Our visitors are serious birdwatchers actively planning trips — not casual browsers. When they reach your region's page, they're already ready to book.
Birding-native audience
AvianScope's entire audience speaks your language — migration windows, endemic species, eBird hotspots. No explaining what a life list is.
Listing is free to start
In our current phase, listing your guided experiences costs nothing. We earn a small platform commission only when bookings flow through AvianScope.
Intelligence-matched discovery
Your listings appear alongside the region's species data, seasonal calendars, and hotspot maps — exactly the context birders need to choose a guide.
Direct inquiries to you
Travelers submit booking requests that route straight to your dashboard and inbox. You respond, confirm, and run your trips your way.
Platform built for Phase 4 growth
Integrated Stripe payments, availability management, and analytics are on our roadmap. Early operators get priority access as features roll out.
Getting Started
How operator onboarding works
Apply
Submit your provider application — business name, regions, trip types, and a brief bio. Typical review is 2–3 business days.
Get approved
Our team verifies legitimacy and fit. Approved operators receive a welcome email with dashboard access.
List your trips
Use the provider dashboard to create listings: title, itinerary summary, dates or seasonality, pricing, and photos.
Receive inquiries
When a birder requests your trip, you'll get an email + dashboard notification. Reply and book however works for you.
Pricing & Commission
Listing your experiences on AvianScope is currently free. When integrated payments launch (Phase 3), AvianScope will take a 10–15% platform commission on bookings processed through the site. Until then, you receive qualified inquiries and close bookings directly — we earn nothing unless you do.
