Viator divides the world into certain regions, subregions, and destinations. You can link to any of these area levels from your own website. In many ways, linking to deeper pages within the Viator Partner site will help with sales conversion — since you are helping customer find what they are looking for faster than sending them to the Viator home page.

If you are interested in one of these languages, we offer two options:
Option #1- Switch your -current- Viator English site to Spanish, French or German
For this option, just send us an email to partnersupport@viator.com, with your three or four digit Partner ID and language requested.
Option #2 - Add an additional Viator Partner account in Spanish, French or German
For this option, please register another Viator account (click here). Once you receive your registration email from us, please forward it to partnersupport@viator.com with your desired language.
Example: You have an existing English Viator site, but want to add Spanish and French versions.
Simply register -two- new Viator accounts (click here) — one for Spanish and one for French. Email partnersupport@viator.com the registration confirmation emails with the desired language for each new account. We will set each account to the applicable language you requested and send you an email confirming the new language setting.
In either option, you must contact Viator to request the language desired, this is not a setting in the registration process or the Partner Admin site. Each language requires its own Viator Account and commission threshold.
Please note, these sites are still in a Beta release phase — but the shopping and booking process is 100% complete and fully functional.
Other important notes:

- Custom Feature page and Widget product listings are in English
- XML Product feeds ARE available in ES/FR/DE via the Partner Admin Site or URL. CSV feeds are coming soon.

Have questions? Send us an email at partnersupport@viator.com
Many thanks to some of our top French, German and Spanish partners for their help in pushing the project to the beta stage!
