Policies

Advertising and affiliate disclosure

Stated plainly, because trust is the only asset an independent guide has.

Placeholder document pending professional review. It is not legal advice.

Referral and affiliate links

Some outbound links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Those links carry standard sponsored or nofollow attributes. Earning a commission never buys inclusion or a better position.

Sponsored and featured placements

Where a business pays for placement, the listing is labelled Sponsored on the page itself — not only here.

Partner packages

Businesses can pay for sponsorship packages covering listing presence and content production. Editorial verification standards apply to paid and unpaid listings equally.

Paid planning and future pass

Paid itinerary and concierge work, and any future Trekker Pass margin, are disabled until they are properly configured and documented. Nothing is on sale today.

What we will not do

Invent a discount, imply a partnership that does not exist, or publish a price, perk or availability claim that a business has not agreed in writing.
