Affiliate Disclosure

phi-phi-islands.com participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently make a purchase or booking — at no additional cost to you. This Affiliate Disclosure is provided in accordance with the FTC guidelines (USA), the UK ASA/CAP rules, and similar regulations in other jurisdictions.

1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a common and legal form of online advertising in which a website earns a referral fee for recommending products or services. When you click an affiliate link on this Site and complete a qualifying action (such as booking a tour or purchasing a product), the affiliated company pays us a small commission. You pay the same price you would without the affiliate link — the commission is paid by the merchant, not by you.

2. Our Affiliate Partners

We currently maintain affiliate relationships with the following platforms (this list may be updated from time to time):

  • GetYourGuide — Tours, day trips, and activities in and around the Phi Phi Islands
  • Klook — Tours, activities, and travel experiences across Asia
  • FerryHopper — Ferry bookings and schedules
  • Amazon — Travel gear, guidebooks, and related products via the Amazon Associates Programme (As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases)

We may also work with other affiliate networks and booking platforms not listed above. Any link that directs you to a third-party booking or shopping site may be an affiliate link.

3. How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on this Site may not always be visually distinct from other links. However, we include disclosures at the beginning of or within articles that contain affiliate links. Phrases such as “This post contains affiliate links”, “We may earn a commission”, or similar statements indicate the presence of affiliate relationships in that content.

As a general rule, any link to a booking platform such as GetYourGuide, Klook, FerryHopper, or Amazon should be assumed to be an affiliate link.

4. Advertising

In addition to affiliate links, this Site displays paid advertisements, which may be served by third-party advertising networks. These ads help support the operation of the Site and allow us to continue providing free travel content.

5. Our Editorial Standards

Affiliate and advertising relationships do not dictate our editorial content. Our travel guides, recommendations, tips, and opinions are based on our own research and judgment. We do not accept payment to write positive reviews or endorse specific services unless clearly marked as sponsored content.

That said, you should be aware that a financial incentive exists when we link to affiliate platforms, and you are encouraged to conduct your own research and compare options before making any booking or purchase.

6. No Additional Cost to You

Using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. The commission we earn comes from the affiliate partner’s marketing budget. In some cases, affiliate links may offer you access to exclusive discounts — we note these when relevant.

7. Compliance

This disclosure is intended to comply with:

  • US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials
  • UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) / CAP Code requirements
  • EU regulations regarding commercial communications
  • General best practices for transparent affiliate marketing
