Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 30 July 2026
Ad – affiliate links: links carrying the visible label “Ad · affiliate link” are advertising. If you click one and make a qualifying booking or purchase, TravelShifu may receive a commission from the partner or affiliate network. The partner’s live price and terms apply.
TravelShifu is owned and operated by Elite Digital AI Solutions Ltd, registered in England & Wales, Company No. 17250017.
How can I identify an affiliate link?
The label “Ad · affiliate link” appears before the clickable button. Where an article is substantially commercial, an affiliate disclosure also appears near its title. A footer disclosure or this policy page is additional context; it is not used as a substitute for labelling the link itself.
What happens after I click?
- The link opens the named partner or affiliate-network destination.
- The destination may use a tracking parameter or storage technology to attribute the referral.
- If the transaction qualifies under that programme’s terms, the partner or network may pay us.
- Your booking, payment, cancellation and support relationship is with the named provider, not TravelShifu.
A commission does not guarantee that an affiliate price is the lowest available. Compare the final total, currency, inclusions, cancellation rules and provider terms before buying.

How does Stay22 work on this site?
If you allow optional affiliate functionality in Privacy settings, Stay22 LetMeAllez may convert compatible accommodation links into Stay22 affiliate links, localise the booking destination and measure referrals. The site-wide funding notice appears before page content to disclose this automatic conversion. The named accommodation provider remains responsible for live availability, prices, booking terms and customer service.
You can reject Stay22 without losing access to TravelShifu, or withdraw permission later using the footer’s Privacy settings control. Separately generated Stay22 Allez links are treated as manual affiliate links and receive a visible advertising label before the click.
How does impact.com work on this site?
If you allow optional affiliate functionality, impact.com’s publisher tag may convert an eligible direct advertiser link into a trackable affiliate link for a programme TravelShifu has joined. It is configured not to replace an existing affiliate link. It may also measure page-level affiliate impressions and referrals. The site-wide funding notice discloses this automatic conversion before page content.
You can reject impact.com without losing access to TravelShifu, or withdraw permission later using Privacy settings in the footer. Independently configured affiliate buttons continue to carry a visible advertising label before the click.
How are recommendations ordered?
Editorial analysis may consider price, coverage, restrictions, usability, support information and the needs described on the page. Commercial availability can affect which outbound booking options we can offer. When a table uses labels such as “our pick” or “best for”, the surrounding page should state the criteria and date used. A commercial relationship is therefore disclosed, not hidden behind a claim of complete commercial neutrality.
Gifted stays, press trips and paid features
If a brand pays for, supplies or materially subsidises content, accommodation, transport, products or services, that content will carry a prominent upfront label such as “Advertisement feature” or “Ad – gifted stay”, as appropriate. Labels such as “hosted”, “PR”, “collab” or “thanks to” are not used on their own to identify advertising.
Insurance and financial-content boundary
TravelShifu publishes general information and does not provide personalised financial, insurance or legal advice. An insurance affiliate link is an advertisement for access to the named provider, not a statement that a policy is suitable for you. Read the policy wording, exclusions, excess, eligibility, cancellation rights and the provider’s regulatory information before buying.
Credit-card articles are educational. Unless a particular link is expressly labelled as an advertisement, TravelShifu does not receive commission from card issuers.
Privacy and affiliate attribution
Stay22 and impact.com affiliate functionality loads only after affiliate consent. Google Analytics is controlled by a separate analytics choice and is not used to decide editorial rankings. A partner or network may also process referral information after you follow a labelled link under its own privacy and cookie notices. See our privacy policy and cookie policy.
