Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At ToursPilot, we believe in complete transparency with our users. This page explains how we generate revenue through affiliate partnerships and how these relationships work.

We want you to understand that while we may earn commissions from some of the products and services we recommend, our recommendations are always based on what we believe will provide the most value to our users.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special links that allow us to earn a small commission when you make a purchase through them. These links are provided by companies we partner with, and they help us keep ToursPilot free for all users.

When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we receive a small percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you. This helps us maintain and improve our services.

Our Affiliate Partners

We partner with reputable travel companies and service providers that we trust and use ourselves. Our current affiliate partners include:

• Booking.com - Hotel and accommodation bookings
• GetYourGuide - Tours and activities
• Rail Europe - Train tickets and passes
• Amazon - Travel gear and accessories
• Hostinger - Web hosting services
• Other travel-related services we recommend

We only partner with companies that offer high-quality services and products that we believe will benefit our users.

How We Use Affiliate Links

We integrate affiliate links naturally into our content in the following ways:

• Product recommendations in our travel guides
• Hotel and accommodation suggestions
• Tour and activity recommendations
• Travel gear and accessory suggestions
• Service provider recommendations

We always disclose when a link is an affiliate link, and we never recommend products or services solely for the purpose of earning a commission.

Our Editorial Independence

It's important to understand that our affiliate relationships do not influence our content or recommendations. We maintain complete editorial independence and only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will benefit our users.

Our recommendations are based on:

• Quality and reliability of the service
• User reviews and feedback
• Our own research and testing
• Value for money
• Customer service quality

We will never recommend a product or service solely because it offers a higher commission rate.

User Benefits

Our affiliate partnerships actually benefit our users in several ways:

• Keep ToursPilot completely free to use
• Allow us to invest in better tools and features
• Enable us to provide more comprehensive travel guides
• Help us maintain and improve our services
• Often provide exclusive discounts and deals

Without affiliate revenue, we would need to charge users for access to our planning tools or display more intrusive advertising.

Transparency Practices

We follow best practices for affiliate marketing transparency:

• Clearly disclose affiliate relationships
• Provide this comprehensive disclosure page
• Never hide or obscure affiliate links
• Always prioritize user value over commissions
• Regularly review and update our partnerships

Your Choice

You are under no obligation to use our affiliate links. You can always:

• Search for the same products or services directly
• Use alternative providers we recommend
• Book through your preferred travel agent
• Choose not to make any purchases

We appreciate when users choose to support us through our affiliate links, but we understand and respect your choice either way.
