Affiliate Disclosure
Legal. Transparent. Simple.
Last updated: May 8, 2026
Atlas Road Travel (“we,” “us,” or “our”) participates in multiple affiliate marketing programs and earns commissions as an independent travel advisor. This page explains how those relationships work, how we may be compensated when you interact with certain links or book travel through us, and what that means for you as a reader.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is identical to booking directly with the provider.
Travel Advisory Commissions
Atlas Road Travel operates as an independent travel advisor through Fora Travel, a host agency. When we plan and book travel on behalf of clients — including hotels, cruises, and travel packages — we may earn a commission paid by the supplier, not the client. These commissions do not increase the price you pay and have no bearing on the advice or recommendations published on this site.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
Atlas Road Travel currently participates in affiliate and referral programs including, but not limited to, the following:

| Additional programs | Various | We may join additional affiliate programs as this site grows. Any new partnerships are covered under this disclosure. This page will be updated to reflect material changes. |
This list covers our current primary affiliate relationships. Because affiliate partnerships in the travel industry frequently expand or change, we use the phrase “including but not limited to” to ensure this disclosure remains valid as our partnerships evolve. Any link on this site that may generate a commission is covered under this policy regardless of whether the specific partner is named above.
How This Affects You
- No additional cost. You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the provider.
- No effect on availability or rates. Pricing, availability, and terms are not influenced by our affiliate relationship with any provider.
- No influence on our recommendations. We recommend destinations, hotels, experiences, and products we genuinely believe are worth your time and money. Affiliate relationships do not determine what we feature, how we rate things, or what we advise against.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly and prominently. Affiliate links may also be identified inline throughout the site with labels such as “affiliate link,” “ad,” or similar language where appropriate.
Transparency and Editorial Integrity
Affiliate income helps support the time and cost involved in producing free travel guides, destination content, and planning resources on this site. Our editorial decisions — what we recommend, how we evaluate experiences, and what we advise against — are made independently of any affiliate relationship. We will not recommend something we don’t believe in because it pays a commission, and we will not suppress a negative opinion because of one.
