Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 2026
Transparency Notice: AttractionScout contains affiliate links. When you click these links and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This does not affect our editorial independence, ratings, or recommendations.
1. How We Earn Revenue
AttractionScout is a free travel information resource. To keep our guides, reviews, and destination pages free for everyone, we participate in various affiliate marketing programs. Some links on our site are affiliate links — when you click through and complete a qualifying action (such as booking a tour, purchasing tickets, or making a reservation), we may receive a small commission from the booking platform or service provider.
2. Affiliate Programs We Participate In
We participate in affiliate programs including but not limited to:
- Viator — A TripAdvisor company offering tours, activities, and attraction tickets worldwide
- GetYourGuide — A leading platform for tours, excursions, and travel experiences
- Klook — A travel activities and services booking platform popular in Asia and globally
- Booking.com — An accommodation and travel booking platform
- Skimlinks — An affiliate network that converts qualifying links across a wide range of travel merchants
- Other travel affiliate networks — Various programs relevant to travel, tourism, and destination experiences
3. No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. The price you pay for any tour, ticket, or booking is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider's website. In some cases, our partnerships may even provide access to exclusive deals or discounts.
4. Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content, ratings, or recommendations. We maintain strict editorial independence:
- Our attraction ratings and reviews are based on traveler feedback, personal research, and objective criteria
- We feature destinations and attractions based on their merit, not based on whether an affiliate relationship exists
- No advertiser or booking partner has editorial oversight or approval rights over our content
- We clearly identify affiliate links and sponsored content to maintain full transparency
- Our travel guides and recommendations are written to genuinely help travelers plan better trips
5. FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships to provide full transparency to our readers. The FTC requires that we clearly disclose when we have a financial relationship with the companies whose products or services we discuss or link to.
This disclosure page, along with inline disclosures on individual pages throughout the site, is intended to satisfy these requirements. If you ever have questions about whether a specific link is an affiliate link, please contact us.
6. How We Choose What to Recommend
Our editorial team evaluates attractions and travel experiences based on:
- Traveler reviews, ratings, and feedback from multiple platforms
- Unique cultural, historical, or natural significance of the attraction
- Value for money and overall visitor experience
- Accessibility, safety, and practical considerations for travelers
- Quality and reliability of booking platforms and tour operators
