At Hidden Travels (https://hiddentravels.site), we value honesty, transparency, and trust. That’s why we’re sharing this detailed affiliate disclosure — to explain how we earn income, how affiliate links work, and how they benefit you as a reader.

To support the time, research, and effort that goes into creating high-quality, free travel content, we sometimes use affiliate links. These links allow us to earn a small commission when you click and make a purchase — at no extra cost to you.

1. What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs with a tracking code. When you click one and make a purchase (like booking a hotel or buying travel gear), we may earn a small commission from the partner company. These commissions help us keep the website running smoothly.

Affiliate links don’t change the price you pay. Whether you buy directly or through our link, your cost stays the same. The only difference is — by using our link, you help support our platform.

2. Why We Use Travel Affiliate Links

Hidden Travels is a passion project focused on sharing real travel experiences, tips, and practical advice. Running the site, creating content, and managing technical needs takes time and resources.

Affiliate links let us monetize the blog in an ethical way — without pop-up ads or paid sponsorships. But your trust means more than income, so we only recommend:

• Products or services we’ve personally used

• Tools we’ve thoroughly researched

• Platforms and brands we genuinely trust

This disclosure is here so you know that while commissions help us, our recommendations are always honest and unbiased.

3. Amazon Affiliate Disclaimer

Hidden Travels is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program that helps websites earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and related sites.

This means if you purchase something on Amazon through one of our links — such as travel backpacks or camera gear — we may earn a commission.

Once again, you won’t pay anything extra, and your support allows us to keep creating content for our readers.

4. Other Travel Affiliate Programs We Use

Beyond Amazon, Hidden Travels partners with several trusted travel platforms and networks that we know can add real value to your trips. These include:

• Booking.com – for hotels, apartments, and unique stays worldwide.

• Skyscanner – to find and compare the best flight deals.

• Trip.com – a global platform for flights, hotels, and transport, especially strong in Asia.

• CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) – connecting us with additional travel brands and tools.

• GetYourGuide – offering tours, activities, and skip-the-line tickets.

• Klook – popular for curated local experiences and attractions.

• Impact Radius – another trusted affiliate network with quality travel services.

Every partner is carefully vetted for quality, safety, and reliability. We only recommend platforms we believe in — never just for the commission.

5. Your Support Means Everything

By using our affiliate links, you help us:

• Keep our site free of ads

• Invest in better tools and research

• Stay independent and transparent

• Create free, in-depth travel guides for you

Your clicks fuel our journey, and for that — we are truly grateful!
