Affiliate Disclosure
We believe in full transparency about how this site operates and how we earn revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships clearly and completely.
Required FTC Disclosure
Roundtrip Sightseeing participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase or booking. This comes at no additional cost to you. We are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255).
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a standard practice where website publishers earn a small commission by referring visitors to products or services. When you click a partner link on our site and complete a booking or purchase, the partner company may pay us a referral fee.
This is how many free travel sites sustain themselves without charging visitors directly. Roundtrip Sightseeing is free to use; affiliate commissions help cover hosting, research, and content-creation costs.
How We Use Affiliate Links
We are deliberate and restrained about where and how affiliate links appear on this site.
- Clicking an affiliate link is entirely optional
- We never auto-redirect you to a partner site
- Affiliate links appear within relevant articles, itineraries, and destination guides — not as generic sitewide ads

This list is not all-inclusive and may change over time. If you have a question about a specific link or partner, contact us.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our destination recommendations, itinerary content, or editorial coverage. We recommend routes, stays, and booking approaches based on their merit and fit for the trip being planned.
If a platform has real drawbacks for a particular trip type, we say so, regardless of our affiliate relationship with that platform. Our primary obligation is to the traveler reading our guides, not to our affiliate partners.
Questions About This Disclosure
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, how a specific link works, or whether a recommendation is influenced by a partnership, please ask. We are committed to transparency.
