Explorer Discounts (Ambassador Programme)
Guests on Kirya earn loyalty status (Explorer → Voyager → Ambassador). Higher-level guests unlock discounts of up to 20% on participating properties.
How it works from your end as a host:
- 1Opt in. On Pro and Elite plans, you can enable “Explorer Discounts” for your listing. This is optional and you choose whether to participate.
- 2Set your discount range. You decide the maximum discount you're willing to offer (e.g. 5%, 10%, up to 20%). The actual discount depends on the guest's level.
- 3Automatic application. When a Voyager or Ambassador guest books your property, the discount is automatically applied at checkout. The guest sees the reduced price and you receive the discounted amount.
- 4You absorb the discount. The discount comes from your end, not from Kirya. In exchange, you get access to a pool of high-value, loyal, repeat guests who are more likely to book and leave great reviews.
- 5Higher visibility. Properties offering Explorer discounts get a special badge and a boost in search results, leading to more bookings overall.
