Travel Ads

Automatically promote your travel inventory on Facebook. Facebook’s travel ads leverage cross-device intent signals to automatically promote relevant travel options from your inventory with unique creatives on Facebook.

Travel ads supports Hotel Ads, Flight Ads, and Destination Ads. See also Travel Ads Implementation.

This guide assumes:

  • You have a catalog and product set ready.
  • You have set up the required travel events on your website or in your mobile app.
  • (Required) You have created a Facebook Page and an ad account.

Targeting Strategies

Travel ads support different targeting strategies. You can drive different business objectives by combining the right audience with the right product set:

  • Retargeting—Show relevant hotels, destinations or flights to people who have been to your website or app looking for hotels, destinations or flights.

  • Cross-sell and upsell—Target people who have purchased a flight with relevant hotels, or upsell priority boarding or seat selection.

  • Prospecting—Expand the reach of your ad and find new customers by targeting prospecting audiences.

Set Up Travel Ads

When you create Travel ads, you follow the same process as you do when you set up any other type of Facebook ad with the API:

Step 1. Create Campaign

Travel ads use the PRODUCT_CATALOG_SALES objective. Specify a travel catalog in promoted_object at the campaign level:

use FacebookAds\Object\Campaign;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\CampaignFields;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\CampaignObjectiveValues;

$campaign = new Campaign(null, 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
$campaign->setData(array(
  CampaignFields::NAME => 'Product Catalog Sales Campaign',
  CampaignFields::OBJECTIVE => CampaignObjectiveValues::PRODUCT_CATALOG_SALES,
  CampaignFields::PROMOTED_OBJECT => array(
    'product_catalog_id' => <PRODUCT_CATALOG_ID>,
  ),
));

$campaign->create(array(
  Campaign::STATUS_PARAM_NAME => Campaign::STATUS_PAUSED,
));
from facebookads.adobjects.campaign import Campaign

campaign = Campaign(parent_id='act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>')
campaign[Campaign.Field.name] = 'Product Catalog Sales Campaign'
objective = Campaign.Objective.product_catalog_sales
campaign[Campaign.Field.objective] = objective
campaign[Campaign.Field.promoted_object] = {
    'product_catalog_id': <PRODUCT_CATALOG_ID>,
}

campaign.remote_create(params={
    'status': Campaign.Status.paused,
})
Campaign campaign = new AdAccount(act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>, context).createCampaign()
  .setName("Product Catalog Sales Campaign Group")
  .setObjective(Campaign.EnumObjective.VALUE_PRODUCT_CATALOG_SALES)
  .setPromotedObject("{\"product_catalog_id\":\"" + <PRODUCT_CATALOG_ID> + "\"}")
  .setStatus(Campaign.EnumStatus.VALUE_PAUSED)
  .execute();
String campaign_id = campaign.getId();
curl \
  -F 'name=Product Catalog Sales Campaign' \
  -F 'objective=PRODUCT_CATALOG_SALES' \
  -F 'promoted_object={"product_catalog_id":"<PRODUCT_CATALOG_ID>"}' \
  -F 'status=PAUSED' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
  https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/campaigns

Step 2. Create Ad Set

Once you have the campaign and the campaign_id, you can create the ad set. The ad set defines the bidding and targeting options for your ads.

Retargeting

To retarget the website or app visitors, use a dynamic audience of the same type as the product set you are promoting; for example, promote a hotel set to a hotel audience, a flight set to a flight audience and a destination set to a destination audience.

Cross-sell and Upsell

To cross-sell and upsell people that purchased on your website and/or app, use a dynamic audience that contains people that have made a purchase, and promote them travel options from another catalog; for example, target a flight purchase audience with a hotel set or another flight set, highlighting seat selection.

Prospecting

  • Create an audience using basic demographic targeting, such as women in the U.S. over the age of 18.
  • Include customers targeted by existing retargeting campaigns, but consider excluding people who have purchased in the last 10 days.
  • Use a broad product set with over 100 hotels.
  • Optimize for OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS with stronger intent signals, such as Purchase or InitiateCheckout.

Create Ad Set Example

use FacebookAds\Object\AdSet;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdSetFields;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\TargetingFields;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\AdSetBillingEventValues;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\AdSetOptimizationGoalValues;

$adset = new AdSet(null, 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');

$adset->setData(array(

  ),
));

$adset->create(array(
  AdSet::STATUS_PARAM_NAME => AdSet::STATUS_PAUSED,
));
from facebookads.adobjects.adset import AdSet
from facebookads.adobjects.targeting import Targeting

adset = AdSet(parent_id=ad_account_id)
adset[AdSet.Field.name] = 'Product Catalog Sales Adset'
adset[AdSet.Field.bid_amount] = 3000
adset[AdSet.Field.billing_event] = AdSet.BillingEvent.impressions
adset[AdSet.Field.optimization_goal] = \
    AdSet.OptimizationGoal.offsite_conversions
adset[AdSet.Field.daily_budget] = 15000
adset[AdSet.Field.campaign_id] = campaign_id
adset[AdSet.Field.targeting] = {
    Targeting.Field.geo_locations: {
        Targeting.Field.countries: ['US'],
    },
    Targeting.Field.dynamic_audience_ids: [

          .setFieldCountries(Arrays.asList("US"))
      )
  )
  .setPromotedObject("{\"product_set_id\":\"" + <PRODUCT_SET_ID> + "\"}")
  .setStatus(AdSet.EnumStatus.VALUE_PAUSED)

Travel ads does not support inline dynamic audience targeting specs in the Ad Set. You must separately create an audience first.

Step 3. Create Ad Creative

You can use template tags in your ad creatives for Travel ads. When Facebook displays your ad, we replace template tags with someone's actual travel choices. You can use template tags in the ad itself and in the URL someone sees once they click the ad.

Use the template_url_spec field to specify the URL that appears after someone clicks the ad. If you don't provide it, or we can't derive it when we render an ad, we display the URL from the catalog. For Flight Ads, this field is required if you don't provide a URL in the catalog.

You can show a single item or a carousel with multiple items. For single-item ads, you can show multiple images of the same item in the carousel, assuming your catalog contains multiple images for each item. You can also display static cards in combination with dynamic cards. For more information about creative options, see Advantage+ Catalog Ads, Building a Creative Template.

The following example shows how to create a carousel creative for Hotel Ads. Destination Ads and Flight Ads have a similar setup.

use FacebookAds\Object\AdCreative;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdCreativeFields;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdCreativeLinkDataFields;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdCreativeObjectStorySpecFields;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\AdCreativeCallToActionTypeValues;
use FacebookAds\Object\AdCreativeObjectStorySpec;
use FacebookAds\Object\AdCreativeLinkData;

$object_story_spec = new AdCreativeObjectStorySpec();
$object_story_spec->setData(array(
  AdCreativeObjectStorySpecFields::PAGE_ID => <PAGE_ID>,
  AdCreativeObjectStorySpecFields::TEMPLATE_DATA =>
    (new AdCreativeLinkData())->setData(array(
      AdCreativeLinkDataFields::MESSAGE =>

      AdCreativeLinkDataFields::NAME => '{{hotel.name | titleize}}',

      AdCreativeLinkDataFields::CALL_TO_ACTION => array(

      ),
    )),
));

Overlay Design

Overlays allow advertisers to add pricing information (as a direct price or percentage off) for each item within Advantage+ catalog ads.

Overlay Options by Catalog Type

You can use the following overlay types, depending on the catalog type you use in the ad set:

  • Hotel: price, strikethrough and % off
  • Destination: price
  • Flight: price

Note: All price-related template tags for each catalog type are supported for the overlay options above. To view template tags for each catalog type, see hotels, destinations, and flights.

Overlay Design Options

The pricing information is dynamically pulled from the price and sale price columns of the feed. Advertisers can select from the following customizations for their Advantage+ catalog ads overlay:

  • Shapes: Pill, Circle and Triangle.
  • Positions: 4 fixed corners: TOP_LEFT, TOP_RIGHT, BOTTOM_LEFT, and BOTTOM_RIGHT. For triangle, only the TOP_LEFT and TOP_RIGHT are supported.
  • Fonts: A list of preset fonts, such as Droid Serif, Open Sans, and so on.
  • Overlay types supported: price, strikethrough and % off. Note: strikethrough and % off are available for hotels only.
