1. What affiliate links are
Dino the Tourist uses affiliate links on some pages, including travel deal pages, blog posts, destination guides, trip-planning tools, banners, buttons, widgets, and recommendation cards.
An affiliate link is a special tracking link that tells a partner website that a visitor came from Dino the Tourist. If you later make a booking or purchase, we may receive a commission.
Affiliate links help support Dino the Tourist and allow us to keep publishing travel deals, guides, and trip-planning tools.
2. How we may earn commission
We may earn commission when you click an affiliate link, complete a booking, buy a product, sign up for a service, or take another qualifying action on a partner website.
Commission structures vary by partner. Some partners may pay per booking, some may pay per sale, some may pay per lead, and some may pay per click or other qualifying action.
Dino the Tourist does not control the commission rules of each partner. These rules are set by the affiliate partner, booking platform, affiliate network, or service provider.
3. No extra cost to you
Using an affiliate link does not usually increase the price you pay. The commission is normally paid by the partner website, not added as a separate charge to you.
However, travel prices can change quickly, and prices may vary between platforms, devices, currencies, countries, apps, websites, or booking providers.
You should always compare the final price before booking, especially for flights, hotels, baggage, package holidays, activities, insurance, eSIMs, and other travel services.
4. Affiliate partners we may link to
Dino the Tourist may link to travel and technology partners that help users book or plan trips.
Partners may include, but are not limited to:
- Flight and travel booking platforms: Trip.com, Skyscanner, and other flight search or booking partners.
- Hotel and accommodation partners: Agoda, Trip.com, and other hotel platforms.
- Activity and tour partners: GetYourGuide and similar activity providers.
- Visa and entry requirement tools: Sherpa and similar travel documentation partners.
- eSIM and connectivity partners: Saily and other travel SIM or eSIM services.
- VPN and digital travel tools: Surfshark and similar technology services.
- Travel insurance partners: EKTA and other insurance-related providers.
- Other travel services: airport transfers, luggage services, travel apps, payment tools, or related travel products.
This list may change over time as we add, remove, or test different partners.
5. Our editorial approach
Dino the Tourist aims to highlight travel deals, tools, and services that are useful, relevant, and worth checking.
We try to avoid fake bargains, unrealistic routing, poor-value deals, hidden-cost traps, and offers that look good only in the headline but are weak after checking the real trip cost.
Affiliate relationships may influence which links are available on the website, but they do not guarantee positive coverage or a recommendation.
Our goal is simple: show deals and tools that Dino would actually consider checking before booking.
6. Prices, availability, and booking conditions
Travel prices and availability can change very quickly. Flight fares, hotel rates, package prices, baggage fees, seat fees, activity prices, visa fees, insurance prices, and other travel costs may change after publication.
Prices and availability are checked at the time of publication but may change at any time.
Dino the Tourist does not control airline pricing, hotel pricing, booking platform pricing, currency conversion, booking fees, baggage rules, cancellation policies, refund rules, schedule changes, or final booking conditions.
Always confirm the final price, baggage allowance, travel dates, connection times, fare rules, visa requirements, passport requirements, cancellation rules, and refund conditions before completing a booking.
7. Affiliate tracking and cookies
When you click an affiliate link, the partner website or affiliate network may use cookies, tracking links, pixels, or similar technologies to record that the referral came from Dino the Tourist.
Affiliate tracking may help partners attribute bookings, purchases, clicks, leads, or other actions to our website.
These cookies and tracking tools may be controlled by third-party partners, not directly by Dino the Tourist. Their own privacy policies and cookie policies apply when you visit their websites.
For more information, please read our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
8. Third-party websites
Dino the Tourist is not an airline, hotel, tour operator, travel agency, visa provider, insurance company, eSIM provider, payment processor, or booking platform.
When you click an affiliate link, you may leave Dino the Tourist and visit a third-party website. Any booking, payment, purchase, cancellation, refund, customer service issue, or dispute is handled directly by that third-party provider.
We are not responsible for third-party websites, including their prices, availability, technical errors, booking failures, customer service, refunds, cancellations, schedule changes, or policies.
9. Your responsibility before booking
Before booking or purchasing any travel-related product or service, you are responsible for checking that it fits your personal situation and travel requirements.
This includes checking:
- Final price and currency.
- Travel dates and routing.
- Departure and arrival airports.
- Layover length and overnight connection risks.
- Baggage allowance, baggage size, and baggage fees.
- Fare rules, refund rules, and cancellation conditions.
- Visa, passport, ESTA, eTA, transit visa, or entry requirements.
- Health, insurance, destination, and local travel requirements.
- Hotel location, taxes, resort fees, deposits, and local charges.
Dino the Tourist may provide helpful notes, but we cannot check every requirement for every traveller, passport, nationality, route, destination, or booking provider.
10. Sponsored content and paid promotions
If Dino the Tourist publishes sponsored content, paid promotions, or brand collaborations, we aim to make this clear where appropriate.
Sponsored content may include paid articles, promotional placements, social media campaigns, newsletter mentions, banners, or partner features.
Even when content is sponsored, we aim to keep information useful, transparent, and relevant to travellers.
