Important Notice: British Travel by Design participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases, at no additional cost to you.
Our Commitment to Transparency
At British Travel by Design, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. We want you to understand how we fund our website and maintain our commitment to providing high-quality, unbiased travel recommendations.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a small commission when you make a purchase after clicking through our website. These commissions help support our work and allow us to continue creating valuable content for luxury travelers.
Important: Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went directly to the provider’s website.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
We currently partner with these affiliate programs:
- Booking.com: hotels and places to stay
- Viator: tours and experiences
- Amazon Associates: travel gear and accessories
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Our Editorial Standards
The presence of affiliate links does NOT influence our recommendations. We maintain strict editorial independence and only recommend:
- Hotels, restaurants, and experiences we have carefully researched and hand-selected
- Services that meet our high standards for luxury, quality, and authenticity
- Providers that we genuinely believe will enhance your travel experience
We NEVER recommend a product or service solely because it offers a higher commission. Our reputation and your trust are more valuable to us than any affiliate payment.
How We Use Affiliate Revenue
The commissions we earn help us:
- Maintain and improve our website
- Travel to destinations to provide firsthand reviews
- Create detailed guides and itineraries
- Invest in high-quality photography and content
- Keep our content free for all readers
Non-Affiliate Content
Not all links on our website are affiliate links. We also link to:
- Official tourism boards and information sites
- Historical and cultural resources
- News articles and research
- Social media profiles
These links are provided for informational purposes and do not generate commissions.
Direct Partnerships
In some cases, we may have direct partnerships or sponsored relationships with hotels, tour operators, or other travel providers. When this occurs, we will clearly disclose the nature of the partnership within the relevant content.
Your Choice
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You may:
- Search for providers independently
- Go directly to booking websites
- Compare prices across multiple platforms
We encourage you to always research and compare options to find the best value for your needs.
