Disclosure Policy

Italian Heritage Vacations (“we,” “us,” or “our”) believes in transparency regarding how we monetize our content. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we may earn compensation through affiliate links on our website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Our website contains links to various products and services offered by third parties. Many of these links are “affiliate links,” which means if you click on one of these links and subsequently make a purchase, book a hotel, reserve a tour, or engage with the linked website in specific ways, we may receive a small commission or other compensation. These commissions come at NO additional cost to you – the price remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website.

Our Affiliate Relationships

Italian Heritage Vacations participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which may include but are not limited to:

• Amazon Associates Program
• Booking.com Affiliate Program
• Expedia Affiliate Network
• GetYourGuide Affiliate Program
• Viator Affiliate Program
• Airbnb Associates Program
• Other travel-related affiliate programs

Our Commitment to You

We want to emphasize that:

1. Editorial Integrity: The presence of affiliate links does NOT influence our content, opinions, or recommendations. We recommend products and services because we believe they are valuable to our readers, not because of the commission we might earn.
2. Honest Recommendations: We only promote products, accommodations, tours, and services that we would personally use or have researched thoroughly and believe would benefit our audience.
3. No Additional Cost: Using our affiliate links does not result in any additional cost to you. In some cases, we may be able to offer special discounts through our affiliate partnerships.
4. No Requirement: You are never under any obligation to click on our affiliate links or to make any purchases through them.

FTC Compliance Statement

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose that we may receive compensation through affiliate links on this website. This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

Identification of Affiliate Links
