Affiliate links are labelled before you leave SoguzTravel
The practical answer must remain useful without a purchase. When a link may earn commission, the interface identifies it; unvalidated travel partners remain research links, not disguised booking actions.
Effective 21 August 2026Current commercial position
The current build includes a limited set of route-gated Amazon packing links carrying SoguzTravel tracking. They are labelled Affiliate link and use sponsored and nofollow link attributes.
The Thailand Viator register contains 50 exact products. Its 35-product P1 shortlist is live across specific activity and transfer decisions; the remaining 15 P2 products are retained for later editorial review and are not presented as public booking options.
The Vietnam Viator register contains 35 active, product-specific P1 links arranged into ten decision groups. Each option carries a Vietnam register ID, source-check date and unique campaign; inactive inventory is filtered out rather than shown as a dead button.
Kiwitaxi transfer buttons in both planners use a tracked business affiliate link and are labelled before the external handoff. Vietnam creates a separate contextual row for each applicable airport or inter-city road movement. Kiwitaxi controls routes, vehicles, live prices and final booking terms.
Trip.com flight buttons and Thailand/Vietnam hotel buttons use tracked Alliance affiliate links. Hotel links use the approved destination-specific campaign when a mapped city is known, with approved country fallbacks only. Trip.com controls live fares, room inventory, schedules, baggage, taxes, availability, payment and final booking terms.
eSIM and other destinations shown as Potential partner or Provider research link do not carry validated SoguzTravel tracking. They are included only where contextually useful and are not described as affiliate offers.
What an affiliate relationship can and cannot change
- It can allow SoguzTravel to receive commission after a qualifying purchase.
- It cannot turn an illustrative estimate into a live quote.
- It cannot make an optional product a mandatory readiness item.
- It cannot move a commercial offer ahead of an entry, safety or other high-trust answer.
- It cannot convert an outbound click into a booking confirmation.
Provider responsibility
The external provider controls its inventory, price, taxes, cancellation terms, payment, fulfilment and customer support. Travellers should recheck the route, dates, occupancy, baggage and final total on the provider site before paying.
Editorial independence
Route ranking, comparisons and readiness guidance are designed around trip fit and hard constraints. Commercial status is a disclosure attribute, not a ranking signal. If no validated commercial action is available, SoguzTravel should show an honest non-commercial path rather than a dead or misleading button.
