Affiliate Disclosure

Beyond the Coast believes readers should be able to understand when our content may result in compensation. Some pages, articles, emails and social media posts contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying booking or purchase, Beyond the Coast may earn a commission from the third-party provider.

You do not pay an additional fee to Beyond the Coast for using an affiliate link. The third-party provider determines the price, availability, payment terms, cancellation rules and other conditions of your booking or purchase.

Affiliate Programs

Beyond the Coast participates, or may participate, in affiliate programs and networks relevant to travel planning, including Travelpayouts, Awin, CJ Affiliate, Booking.com, Viator and GetYourGuide. Participation and individual commercial relationships may change over time. We may also join other relevant affiliate programs in the future.

The inclusion of a company or program in this disclosure does not mean that every link to that company is an affiliate link or that every listed relationship is active at all times.

How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links contain tracking information that allows the relevant network or provider to recognize that a visitor arrived through Beyond the Coast. If you complete an eligible transaction within the provider’s attribution period, the provider may pay us a commission.

Affiliate networks and providers may use cookies or similar technologies for attribution, reporting, fraud prevention and related purposes. The duration and operation of this tracking vary by provider. Where required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies are used only in accordance with your consent choices. For more information about data handling and cookies, please read our Privacy Policy and use the cookie settings available on the website.

How We Identify Affiliate Content

Where a page or recommendation contains affiliate links, we aim to provide a clear disclosure close to the relevant content, before or near the affiliate links. A link to this general Disclosure Policy is additional information and does not replace a clear disclosure on the page where the recommendation appears.

Disclosures may use wording such as:

This post contains affiliate links. If you book or purchase through them, Beyond the Coast may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships will also be disclosed appropriately in emails and social media posts when applicable. Sponsored or paid content will be clearly identified as sponsored, paid or advertising content.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate compensation does not purchase a positive opinion, rating or recommendation. We aim to recommend destinations, accommodation, activities and travel resources that we genuinely believe may be useful to our audience. Our editorial judgment is not based solely on whether an affiliate relationship is available.

Some recommendations are based on personal experience, while others may be based on independent research, publicly available information and suitability for the intended reader. We aim to distinguish personal experience from researched recommendations and not imply that we have personally visited, stayed at or used something when we have not.

Travel preferences and experiences are subjective. A recommendation does not guarantee availability, price, quality, safety or that a particular hotel, activity or service will suit every traveller. Please verify current details and review the third-party provider’s terms before booking.

Sponsored Content, Complimentary Experiences and Gifts

If Beyond the Coast receives payment, a complimentary stay, tour, product, service, discount, gift or other material benefit in connection with content, that relationship will be disclosed clearly where the content appears.

Receiving compensation or a complimentary experience does not guarantee favorable coverage. We do not agree to publish opinions that do not reflect our honest assessment.

Our Own Products and Services

Beyond the Coast may also promote its own digital products and personalized trip planning services. Revenue from our own products and services is not affiliate commission. Where our own offer appears alongside third-party affiliate recommendations, we aim to make the nature of each offer clear.

Third-Party Transactions

When you make a booking or purchase through an affiliate link, your transaction is with the relevant third-party provider, not with Beyond the Coast. The provider is responsible for processing the transaction, delivering the product or service, handling cancellations and refunds, and providing customer support under its own terms.

Please review the provider’s current terms, privacy policy, price and cancellation conditions before completing a transaction. Our Terms of Use and Service contain additional information about third-party websites and travel suppliers.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate commissions help support the research, photography, website costs and time required to create detailed travel guides and keep much of our editorial content freely available to readers.
