Transparency is Key at EssentialVietnamTravel.com

Here at EssentialVietnamTravel.com, we believe in being open and honest with our readers. Part of that transparency involves letting you know that some of the links on this website are affiliate links.

What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a specific URL that contains the affiliate’s ID or username. When you click on an affiliate link located on EssentialVietnamTravel.com and make a purchase for a product or service (like booking a hotel room, flight, or tour), we may earn a small commission from the vendor or company at no additional cost to you.

How We Use Affiliate Links

Throughout EssentialVietnamTravel.com, you will find recommendations for travel-related products and services that we believe are genuinely useful for planning your trip to Vietnam. These may include, but are not limited to:

  • Accommodation: Links to booking platforms like Booking.com.
  • Flights: Links to flight comparison and booking sites like WayAway and Kiwi.com.
  • Tours & Activities: (Mentioning this prepares for future additions) Links to tour operators or booking platforms.
  • Transportation:
  • Travel Gear & Resources:

We are a participant in the Travelpayouts Affiliate Network, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to partner merchants. This allows us to earn commissions through partners like Booking.com, WayAway, Kiwi.com, and potentially others available through the network.

Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?

Running a website like EssentialVietnamTravel.com involves costs, including hosting, design, research, and content creation time. Affiliate commissions help us to cover these costs and allow us to continue providing high-quality, helpful, and free travel information and guides about Vietnam to you, our valued reader.

Our Commitment to You

Our primary goal is to provide you with the most essential, accurate, and helpful information to plan your trip to Vietnam.

  • We only recommend products, services, and companies that we have either used ourselves or thoroughly researched and believe will genuinely add value to your travel experience.
  • Our opinions and reviews are always our own and are not influenced by potential commissions.
  • We strive to provide honest assessments, including potential drawbacks if relevant.

Your Support

When you choose to make a purchase or booking through one of our affiliate links, you are directly supporting EssentialVietnamTravel.com and the work we do. We sincerely appreciate your trust and support – it allows us to keep this resource running and growing!

Important Note: No Extra Cost to You

Please remember, clicking on an affiliate link and making a purchase will never cost you any extra money. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website. The commission is paid by the vendor as a thank you for the referral.
