How Travel City Makes Money
Travel City is an independent travel blog. We do not charge readers for access to our content, guides, or tools. To keep the site running and free to use, we earn revenue in the following ways:
Affiliate commissions
Some links on our website are affiliate links. This means that if you click through to a third-party website (such as an eSIM provider or Amazon) and make a purchase, Travel City may earn a small commission from that sale. This commission comes from the provider, not from you. You do not pay any extra as a result of using our affiliate links.
Display advertising
We display advertisements on our website through Google AdSense. These ads generate revenue based on impressions and clicks. We do not control which specific advertisements are shown, though we have category-level filters in place to block ads that are irrelevant or inappropriate for our audience.
Our Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is completely independent of our commercial relationships. Here is how we maintain that separation:
Honest recommendations. If a destination, product, or service is not worth your time or money, we say so. Our goal is to give you the advice we would give a friend.
Which Pages Contain Affiliate Links
Affiliate links appear primarily in the following areas of our website:
• The eSIM comparison tool, where links to provider websites are affiliate links
• Destination guides, where we may link to eSIM providers, booking platforms, or travel services
• Tool pages and articles that reference specific products or services
Wherever possible, we aim to make it clear when a link is an affiliate link. If you would prefer not to use our affiliate links, you are welcome to navigate directly to the provider’s website instead.
Our Affiliate Partners
Our affiliate relationships are primarily with eSIM providers featured in our comparison tool. We may also have affiliate relationships with other travel-related services and Amazon. We only partner with providers whose products we believe offer genuine value to our readers.
We regularly review our affiliate partnerships and will remove any provider from our comparison tool or recommendations if their service quality falls below the standard we expect.
Questions
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we fund this website, please contact us via the contact form at https://www.travelcity.co.uk/contact. We believe in full transparency and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
