# Affiliate Policy

**Last updated: August 1, 2026**

TripRoute Planner publishes travel guides, destination roundups, vacation ideas, tours, accommodations, transportation options, and trip-planning resources.

Some links on **triprouteplan.com** are affiliate links.

## Trip.com Affiliate Relationship

TripRoute Planner may participate in the **Trip.com Affiliate Program**.

Trip.com operates an affiliate program through which publishers may earn commissions by referring visitors to eligible travel products and bookings.

When you click a Trip.com affiliate link and complete a qualifying booking, TripRoute Planner may receive a commission.

This commission generally does not increase the price you pay.

## Affiliate Disclosure

A material relationship between a publisher and a recommended company should be disclosed clearly and close to the relevant recommendation. FTC guidance states that disclosures should be understandable and not hidden where users are unlikely to notice them.

For this reason, articles containing affiliate links may include a notice such as:

> **Affiliate disclosure:** This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you book through these links, at no additional cost to you.

## Editorial Independence

Affiliate partnerships do not guarantee positive coverage.

We aim to select destinations, hotels, tours, attractions, and travel services based on factors such as:

- relevance to the article;
- usefulness to travelers;
- location;
- price range;
- availability;
- features;
- publicly available customer feedback;
- suitability for the intended audience.

The possibility of receiving a commission may influence which booking links are available, but it does not change our commitment to presenting useful and accurate information.

## Prices and Availability

Travel prices, schedules, availability, fees, policies, ratings, and booking conditions may change at any time.

Information displayed on TripRoute Planner may not reflect the latest details shown by Trip.com.

Always verify the final:

- price;
- currency;
- taxes and fees;
- cancellation rules;
- baggage conditions;
- room details;
- booking dates;
- traveler information;
- refund terms

on Trip.com before completing a booking.

## Bookings and Payments

TripRoute Planner does not process Trip.com reservations or payments.

Your booking is made directly with Trip.com or the travel provider presented during checkout. Their terms, privacy policy, cancellation rules, payment conditions, and customer-service procedures apply.

Questions about an existing reservation should be directed to Trip.com or the relevant provider.

## No Guarantee

We do not guarantee:

- availability;
- prices;
- discounts;
- service quality;
- property classifications;
- review accuracy;
- visa eligibility;
- transportation schedules;
- successful completion of a booking.

Travel decisions remain your responsibility.

## Other Affiliate Partners

The Website may also use affiliate links from other travel platforms, tour providers, accommodation services, retailers, or advertising networks.

The same disclosure principles apply to these relationships.

## Trademarks

Trip.com and related names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

TripRoute Planner is an independent travel-content website and is not Trip.com, unless a specific page clearly states otherwise.
