How affiliate links work on this site

Disclosure placement

When a page contains an active affiliate link, a plain-language disclosure is shown near the commercial recommendation or near the top of the page. We do not rely on a footer-only disclosure, and affiliate links use sponsored/nofollow attributes where appropriate.

How links are selected

Our routing system prefers a link that matches the decision being discussed, such as a relevant destination, hotel or attraction category. We do not silently replace an unavailable specific option with a broad partner homepage unless that fallback has been explicitly enabled and remains useful to the reader.

Time-limited or stale links can be excluded. Live price, inventory and booking terms belong to the partner or official booking page and should be rechecked there before payment.

Editorial independence

Affiliate availability does not decide whether something is recommended. We may recommend waiting, using a non-affiliate official option, choosing public transport, buying locally, or not buying anything. A guide should still make sense if every commercial link is removed.

What we measure

We may measure anonymous page and affiliate-link interaction data to understand whether a guide helps readers reach a useful next step. Clicks are not treated as bookings or revenue. Conversion and revenue are used only when they are actually observed from an authorized source.
