Transparent commerce

Affiliate disclosure

We may earn commission from clearly labelled partner links, but commercial compensation never buys editorial conclusions or ranking.

01

How commission works

Some outbound links are affiliate or sponsored links. If you follow one and complete a qualifying transaction with the partner, we may receive commission, normally without increasing your purchase price. Eligibility, amount and confirmation timing are determined by the partner’s rules.

02

How to recognise it

  • Commercial cards are labelled “Affiliate / sponsored”, “商业合作”, or equally clear wording.
  • Partner links use a controlled redirect to the third-party site and appropriate sponsored / nofollow attributes.
  • Editorial links, official sources and community content are not disguised as paid recommendations.
03

Editorial independence

  • Commission does not determine the ordering of cities, places, guides, search, entry results or itineraries.
  • Useful standalone travel information comes first; services appear only at relevant decision points.
  • We do not fill empty placements with irrelevant offers. Core content remains useful when every commercial placement is disabled.
04

Transactions and responsibility

Purchase, payment, cancellation, refund, support and fulfilment take place with the partner and are its responsibility. Check final price, currency, eligibility, cancellation policy and local requirements before paying. An affiliate relationship is not a guarantee that a product is suitable for you.

05

Measurement

We record anonymous offer impressions and clicks, including page, placement, device category and time. We do not tie those records to a traveller account or send partners a complete itinerary or precise location. Orders and commission are recognised only from formal partner reports.

06

Current and future partners

Partners may change as approvals, product availability and quality reviews change. This disclosure applies to every affiliate or sponsored relationship identified on the site. Paid content, free products or another material relationship will also be disclosed close to the relevant content.

This page describes China Travel Kit’s current practices in clear language. We will update the text and date when features, partners or applicable requirements change.
