TourGenuity believes in being transparent about how this website is funded. Some articles and pages on https://tourgenuity.com contain affiliate links.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains how those links work and how they may affect TourGenuity and its readers.
1. What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a special link that identifies TourGenuity as the referring website.
If you click an affiliate link and later complete an eligible booking or purchase, TourGenuity may receive a commission from the provider.
In most cases, using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. The provider pays the commission from its own marketing budget.
Affiliate commissions help support:
- Website hosting and maintenance
- Travel research
- Content creation and editing
- Website tools and resources
- The continued publication of free India travel guides
2. Our Affiliate Partners
TourGenuity currently participates in affiliate arrangements with:
- GetYourGuide
- Klook
These platforms provide travel-related services such as:
- Tours
- Activities
- Attraction tickets
- Local experiences
- Airport transfers
- Other travel services
Our affiliate partnerships may change over time. We will update this disclosure when a material new affiliate relationship is introduced.
3. How We Identify Affiliate Content
Articles containing affiliate links will include a clear disclosure near the beginning of the article or close to the relevant recommendation.
We may use wording such as:
- Affiliate link
- This article contains affiliate links
- We may earn a commission
- TourGenuity may receive a commission if you book through this link
A general disclosure page does not replace article-level disclosure. We aim to make the commercial relationship clear before a reader clicks an affiliate link.
4. Article-Level Affiliate Disclosure
The following short disclosure may appear near the beginning of articles containing GetYourGuide or Klook links:
This article may contain affiliate links. If you book through one of these links, TourGenuity may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
This statement should appear before the first affiliate link whenever practical.
5. Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions.
We aim to recommend travel services, tours, activities, and experiences that are relevant and potentially useful to first-time visitors to India.
Recommendations may be based on:
- First-hand knowledge or experience where available
- Independent editorial research
- Information supplied by the provider
- Verified traveller feedback
- Price, location, and practical convenience
- Cancellation options
- Suitability for first-time international travellers
- Overall value and relevance to the article
TourGenuity does not claim to have personally used every service, tour, attraction, or activity mentioned on the website.
The possibility of receiving a commission does not guarantee:
- Positive coverage
- A favourable review
- Inclusion in an article
- Preferred placement
- A particular ranking
- An endorsement without editorial evaluation
6. Prices and Availability
Prices, availability, schedules, inclusions, meeting points, cancellation conditions, taxes, and provider terms can change without notice.
A price or service description shown on TourGenuity may not reflect the latest information available from the provider.
Before booking, confirm all important details directly on the GetYourGuide, Klook, or relevant service-provider website.
7. Bookings and Payments
TourGenuity does not directly process bookings or payments made through affiliate links.
When you follow an affiliate link and complete a booking, the transaction is between you and the third-party provider.
The provider is responsible for matters such as:
- Payment processing
- Booking confirmation
- Availability
- Customer service
- Cancellations
- Refunds
- Changes to an itinerary
- Provider performance
- Privacy and data handling
Any booking is subject to the provider’s own terms, policies, and conditions.
Questions about a booking, payment, cancellation, or refund should normally be directed to the provider through which the booking was completed.
8. No Guarantee of Third-Party Services
TourGenuity aims to link to established and relevant travel platforms. However, we do not control the operation, availability, quality, safety, or performance of services provided by third parties.
Mentioning or linking to a service does not guarantee that it will be suitable for every traveller.
Readers should independently review:
- Current prices
- Recent customer feedback
- Cancellation terms
- Accessibility
- Safety considerations
- Age or health restrictions
- Meeting-point instructions
- Provider terms
9. Affiliate Cookies and Tracking
GetYourGuide, Klook, or their affiliate-technology providers may use cookies or similar identifiers when you follow an affiliate link.
These technologies help the provider determine whether TourGenuity referred an eligible booking or purchase.
The relevant third party determines:
- What information is collected
- How long its affiliate cookie remains active
- How referral information is processed
- Whether an eligible booking qualifies for commission
For more information, review:
- TourGenuity’s Cookie Policy
- TourGenuity’s Privacy Policy
- The relevant affiliate provider’s privacy and cookie policies
Where legally required, affiliate tracking may be subject to your cookie-consent choices.
10. Sponsored Content
Affiliate content is not necessarily sponsored content.
An article may contain affiliate links without being created or funded by a brand. If a company pays for an article, provides a complimentary experience, or supports the content through another material arrangement, that relationship will be disclosed separately.
Please review our Sponsored Content Policy for additional information.
11. Your Choice
You are not required to use our affiliate links.
You may visit the provider’s website directly or compare services through another platform. Your decision to use or not use an affiliate link does not affect your access to TourGenuity’s free content.
12. Updates to This Disclosure
We may update this Affiliate Disclosure when:
- We join or leave an affiliate program
- Our monetisation practices change
- A relevant legal or platform requirement changes
- New types of commercial relationships are introduced
The latest version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
