We’re Transparent About How We Make Money
Easy Explorers uses affiliate links throughout our guides, reviews, and recommendations. We believe in being upfront about this because your trust is everything to us.
What Does This Mean?
When you click a link to a hotel, flight booking site, travel gear, or other product on Easy Explorers and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This costs you nothing extra – you pay the same price whether you click our link or go directly to the website.
Think of it like this: the merchant pays us a small referral fee for sending them a customer. It’s a standard practice across the travel and lifestyle web, and it helps us keep Easy Explorers free and independent.
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
We use affiliate links for:
- Hotel and accommodation bookings – through platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb
- Flight and travel booking – through sites like Expedia, Kayak, and airline partners
- Travel gear and luggage – through Amazon Associates and specialty outdoor retailers
- Travel insurance – through insurance comparison and booking platforms
- Tours and activities – through booking platforms like Viator and GetYourGuide
- Other travel products and services – clearly marked when relevant
We always try to make it clear when a link is an affiliate link, but if you’re ever unsure, you can:
- Look for disclosure language near the link
- Check the URL (affiliate links often contain tracking codes)
- Contact us if you have questions
Our Promise to You
All of our recommendations are honest. We only recommend products, services, and destinations we genuinely believe in based on our own experience. Affiliate income never influences what we write about or how we review something.
Here’s what that means in practice:
- We won’t recommend something just because it has an affiliate program
- We won’t hide negative aspects of a product or service to earn a commission
- We won’t promote something we haven’t personally used or thoroughly researched
- If a popular option doesn’t deserve our recommendation, we’ll say so – even if it means losing affiliate income
Your trust is worth far more to us than any single commission.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate income helps us:
- Keep the blog free – no paywalls, no subscriptions, no ads cluttering the page
- Invest in better content – funding research trips, photography, and in-depth guides
- Stay independent – we’re not beholden to tourism boards, hotels, or travel companies
- Maintain quality – paying for the time and expertise that goes into each guide
Without affiliate income, Easy Explorers couldn’t exist as it does today. We’re grateful for readers who support us by using our links.
