Affiliate Disclosure
Desk2Destinations is reader-supported. Some of the outbound links you'll find across this site — including links to Booking.com, Agoda, Klook, Airbnb, GetYourGuide, Skyscanner, and Travelpayouts, among others — are affiliate links. When you click through and book a stay, tour, flight, or experience, Desk2Destinations may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you.
What this means for you
Nothing changes for the reader. The price you pay through one of our affiliate links is identical to the price you'd pay going to the platform directly — sometimes lower, when an affiliate-only promo is available, but never higher. Our recommendations are not paid placements. No hotel, tour operator, or platform pays us to feature them. Every recommendation on this site is from a trip the authors personally took, paid for, and lived through.
How we choose what to recommend
We pick partners based on actual use, not on commission rate. If we stayed somewhere good, we link the platform we actually booked it through. If a tour was worth the money, we link where we bought the ticket. The platforms we currently work with are:
- Booking.com — hotels and apartments worldwide
- Agoda — hotels, especially across Asia
- Klook — tours, transfers, and attraction tickets
- Airbnb (via Awin) — homes and longer stays
- GetYourGuide — guided experiences and skip-the-line tickets
- Skyscanner (via Travelpayouts) — flight comparison
If a platform stops being useful to readers, we drop it — commission rate doesn't enter the conversation.
FTC + ASCI compliance
This disclosure exists to satisfy the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and the Advertising Standards Council of India's ASCI Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media on disclosure of material connections. In plain English: if there's a financial relationship between us and a platform we link to, we tell you about it — clearly, in advance, and in a place you can actually find.
Individual posts may also carry inline disclosure where an affiliate link appears, in addition to this site-wide page.
Questions?
If something on the site looks like it should be disclosed and isn't, or if you want to know whether a particular link is an affiliate link, please reach out via the contact page. We'll answer honestly and fix anything we missed.
