Affiliate Disclosure

Introduction

Welcome to Travel Safe! We want to be completely transparent with you about how we support this website and keep our travel content free for everyone.

Here’s the bottom line: Travel Safe may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through our site. These are called affiliate links, and they help us cover the costs of running www.travelsafeguide.com—but they never cost you anything extra.

How It Works

When you visit Travel Safe and click on an affiliate link to book a hotel, purchase travel gear, sign up for a tour, or buy any product or service we recommend, we may receive compensation from that company. This compensation can come in several forms:

  • Commissions – A small percentage of your purchase price
  • Referral fees – A flat fee for sending customers to a partner
  • Free products or services – Items we review or test
  • Discounts – Special rates from travel brands
  • Other benefits – Credits, bonuses, or promotional considerations

This is how many travel websites operate, and it allows us to continue creating helpful guides, destination reviews, packing tips, and travel resources without charging you a subscription or access fee.

Important: Whether we earn a commission or not, our goal is always to provide honest, useful information. We only recommend products, services, and destinations we genuinely believe will enhance your travel experience. Your trust matters more to us than any commission.

Where It Applies

This Affiliate Disclosure applies to all content on www.travelsafeguide.com, including:

  • Blog posts and articles
  • Destination guides and itineraries
  • Product reviews and recommendations
  • Resource pages and tool roundups
  • Emails and newsletters
  • Social media posts linking to our site

Basically, any time you see a link on Travel Safe that takes you to another website, there’s a possibility it could be an affiliate link. We want you to know this upfront so you can make informed decisions about where you click and what you buy.

Link-Level Disclosures

In addition to this page-wide disclosure, we make it easy to identify affiliate links as you browse our content. You’ll see clear labels placed near or directly on affiliate links, such as:

  • (paid link)
  • (affiliate link)
  • #ad
  • #affiliate
  • (sponsored)

These labels appear immediately before, after, or within the link itself so you always know when a link may earn us a commission. We follow Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines to ensure our disclosures are clear and conspicuous at the point where you’re making a decision.

Program-Specific Disclosures

Travel Safe participates in various affiliate programs. Below are specific disclosures required by some of our partners:

Amazon Associates Program

“As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.”

Travel Safe is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international sites (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, etc.). When you purchase items through our Amazon links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Booking.com Affiliate Program

Travel Safe participates in the Booking.com affiliate program. When you book accommodations, rental cars, or experiences through our Booking.com links, we may receive a commission from Booking.com.

Other Travel Affiliate Programs

We also work with other trusted travel brands and affiliate networks, including but not limited to:

  • Hotel booking platforms (Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, etc.)
  • Tour and activity providers (Viator, GetYourGuide, etc.)
  • Travel insurance companies
  • Luggage and travel gear brands
  • Flight comparison and booking tools
  • Credit card and financial service providers

Each program may have its own terms, and we earn commissions according to their respective policies.

Our Commitment to You

While we do earn income from affiliate partnerships, our recommendations are based on our genuine opinions and experiences. We will never recommend a product or service solely because it offers a higher commission. If we don’t believe something is worth your time or money, we won’t promote it—period.

When we review or recommend products and services:

  • We prioritize quality, value, and usefulness to travelers
  • We disclose both the pros and cons honestly
  • We often test products ourselves or research them thoroughly
  • We compare multiple options so you can make the best choice for your needs

Your satisfaction and trust are far more valuable to us than any short-term affiliate earnings.

No Extra Cost to You

It’s important to understand that using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. The companies we partner with pay us a commission from their own budgets as a marketing expense. You’ll pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to their website.

In some cases, we may even be able to secure exclusive discounts or special offers for Travel Safe readers, which means you could actually save money by using our links.

Questions or Concerns?

We believe in full transparency and are happy to answer any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we monetize Travel Safe.
