Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: 01, October 2024

At Bharat Backpackers, we believe in transparency and integrity when it comes to our content and recommendations. To comply with the guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and to be fully transparent with our users, we have created this Affiliate Disclosure to inform you about our affiliate relationships and how they influence our content.

1. What is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a partnership with a business or brand in which we may promote their products or services in exchange for a commission. This commission is earned when you, as a visitor, click on an affiliate link on our website and make a qualifying purchase or engage with the affiliate’s services.

2. How Do Affiliate Links Work?

Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a tracking code unique to our partnership. When you click on an affiliate link and purchase a product or service, the tracking code helps the affiliate partner identify that the sale or action originated from our site. This does not affect the price you pay for the product or service. The price remains the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s site.

3. Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?

Our goal is to provide high-quality content, travel recommendations, and valuable resources to help you plan your trips and enhance your travel experiences. By including affiliate links, we are able to support our website and compensate for the time and effort put into creating content. This helps us continue to provide free resources, guides, and travel inspiration to our audience.

4. Affiliate Programs We Participate In

Bharat Backpackers participates in several affiliate marketing programs. The most common ones include:

  • Amazon Associates Program: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, which allows us to earn a commission by linking to products available on Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
  • Booking.com Affiliate Partner Program: We may earn a commission for travel bookings made through Booking.com links provided on our website.
  • Aviasales Affiliate Program: We partner with Aviasales to provide our users with access to the best flight deals. If you book a flight through Aviasales using our links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
  • Hotellook Affiliate Program: Hotellook helps us offer users a comparison of hotel prices worldwide. If you book a stay through Hotellook, we may earn a commission for the referral.
  • Tiqets Affiliate Program: We collaborate with Tiqets to provide our readers with access to tickets for museums, attractions, and experiences globally. Using our affiliate links to book with Tiqets supports us through a commission-based model.
  • GetTransfer.com Affiliate Program: GetTransfer.com provides transfer and car rental services. If you book a transfer through our link, we may receive a small fee as a reward for connecting users with their services.
  • Google AdSense: While not a direct affiliate program, Google AdSense is a form of advertising used on our site. When you click on ads displayed by Google, we may earn a small fee.

Each affiliate program operates under its own terms and conditions, which are independent of Bharat Backpackers.

5. No Additional Cost to You

Using our affiliate links does not result in any additional cost to you. In fact, using these links often helps us to offer deals and promotions exclusive to our readers. Any commission earned comes directly from the vendor or merchant as a reward for referring new customers to their business.

6. Sponsored Content and Reviews

In addition to affiliate links, we may also feature sponsored content or product reviews. Sponsored content means that a brand or company has compensated us to mention or review their products or services. When we publish sponsored content, we will always disclose it at the beginning or within the content itself.

Regardless of whether a post is sponsored or includes affiliate links, we maintain our editorial integrity by ensuring that our opinions, findings, and experiences are genuine and unbiased.

7. Your Trust Matters

Our reputation is built on trust, and we value our readers. Therefore, we are selective about the products and services we promote. We recommend only products, services, or experiences that we believe are of value to our readers based on our research and experience. We encourage you to do your own research before making any purchase decision based on our recommendations.

8. External Links and Third-Party Websites

Our Website may include links to third-party websites. These sites are not controlled or operated by Bharat Backpackers, and we are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of these external sites. Clicking on an external link may result in tracking by the third-party site.

9. Changes to this Affiliate Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our partnerships or new affiliate relationships. When we update this page, the “Last Updated” date at the top will be revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.
