Affiliate Disclaimer Policy for The Caribbean Tourist
Last Updated: March 31, 2025
At The Caribbean Tourist, we aim to provide valuable travel recommendations and cultural insights to help you plan your best Caribbean vacation. To support the operation of our website at (the “Site”), we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This Affiliate Disclaimer Policy explains our use of affiliate links and how it impacts your experience.
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
The Site contains affiliate links to third-party products and services (e.g., hotel bookings, tours, subscription boxes). These links are provided through affiliate programs such as Booking.com, Viator, and others. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
2. Our Affiliate Relationships
We are a participant in various affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Booking.com Affiliate Program (for hotel and lodging recommendations).
- Viator Affiliate Program (for tours and activities).
- Other programs for products like Caribbean subscription boxes or travel gear.
These partnerships help fund the Site, allowing us to continue sharing free content.
3. Our Commitment to You
- Honesty: We only recommend products, services, or experiences we believe in, based on our personal experiences, research, or cultural relevance to the Caribbean.
- Transparency: Affiliate links are disclosed clearly in posts (e.g., “This post contains affiliate links”) or near the links themselves (e.g., “[affiliate link]”).
- No Extra Cost: Commissions do not increase the price you pay—our earnings come from the affiliate partner, not you.
4. Your Responsibility
- Third-Party Terms: When you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected to a third-party site (e.g., Booking.com). Purchases are subject to their terms, conditions, and privacy policies, which you should review before buying.
- No Guarantee: While we strive to recommend reliable services, we cannot guarantee the quality, availability, or experience of third-party offerings (e.g., hotel stays, tours). You use these services at your own risk.
5. FTC Compliance
In compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we disclose that:
- We may earn commissions from affiliate links on the Site.
- These earnings do not influence our recommendations—we prioritize authenticity and value for our readers.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Affiliate Disclaimer Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
