Affiliate Disclosure — LIVEONTHEMAP

Last updated: July 2026

        Some links on LIVEONTHEMAP are affiliate links. If you book a hotel, tour or service through them, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.
      

Why we use affiliate links

We spend time visiting places, researching stays and choosing tours we’d recommend to friends. Affiliate commissions help cover hosting and the time it takes to keep guides accurate — without filling the site with intrusive ads.

What that means for you

Same price — You do not pay more when you use our links.
Our opinion first — We recommend places and experiences based on quality and fit, not commission size.
Your choice — You can always book directly or search on your own; the guides still work.

Partners we may work with

Depending on the page, links may go to partners such as:

Hotel booking platforms (e.g. Booking.com)
Tour and experience platforms (e.g. Viator)
Flight, car rental, insurance or travel-resource partners listed on our Resources page

When you click through, you leave LIVEONTHEMAP and the partner’s terms and privacy policy apply.

We only include affiliate links for products and services we believe are genuinely useful for planning a trip. If we wouldn’t suggest it to someone we care about, it doesn’t belong here.

FTC & transparency

This disclosure is provided in line with common advertising and endorsement guidelines (including FTC guidance in the United States). We want every reader to know when a link may support the site.
