Performance Max for travel goals campaigns allow you to serve your ads across Google’s advertising platforms, which can help drive more direct bookings for your properties.
When you create a Performance Max for travel goals campaign, you can link your Hotel Center feed to make it easier to populate property lists into a campaign and to populate assets. Currently, linking to Hotel Center is limited to accounts with no more than 100 hotels, but you can create a hotel properties feed if you want to link more than 100 properties instead. After you’ve created your Performance Max for travel goals campaign, you can add additional asset groups (hotels) to your campaign through your Google Ads client account or the Hotel Center.
