Our Commitment to Transparency
At The Roam Diary, honesty is at the core of everything we publish. This Affiliate Disclosure page explains how we earn money through this website and how that may or may not influence our content.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a way for websites like The Roam Diary to earn a small commission by recommending products and services. When you click a link on our site and make a purchase or booking, we may receive a percentage of that sale — at absolutely no extra cost to you.
Think of it like a referral fee. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the website yourself.
Who We Work With
The Roam Diary participates in affiliate programmes with the following travel platforms and brands:
- Viator — tours, activities, and experiences worldwide
- Expedia — flights, hotels, and holiday packages
- Booking.com — hotel and accommodation bookings
- GetYourGuide — tours and travel experiences
- TripAdvisor — travel reviews and experience bookings
We may add additional affiliate partners in the future. Whenever we do, this page will be updated accordingly.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on The Roam Diary look exactly like regular links. However, you can identify them by:
- Disclosures at the top or bottom of blog posts stating “This post contains affiliate links”
- Links pointing to external travel booking platforms like Viator, Expedia, or Booking.com
We do our best to clearly label affiliate content throughout the site.
Does This Affect Our Reviews and Recommendations?
No — never.
Our editorial integrity is not for sale. Every review, recommendation, and guide published on The Roam Diary is based on thorough independent research and genuine assessment of value for our readers.
We only recommend travel platforms and services we genuinely believe are worth your money. If a platform has significant drawbacks, we say so — regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with them.
The fact that we earn a commission does not influence which platforms we recommend or what we write about them.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and similar regulations in other countries, we are required to disclose any material connections between ourselves and brands we recommend.
This Affiliate Disclosure page, along with the disclosures included in individual blog posts, fulfils this legal requirement.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how they may affect our content, please do not hesitate to reach out.
