Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 2026
What are affiliate links?
Some links on Chess Holidays are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and subsequently book a hotel, purchase travel insurance, or buy a product, Chess Holidays may receive a commission from the vendor at no additional cost to you. Affiliate commissions are one of the primary ways this site earns revenue and stays free to use.
Your price is never affected
Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay. You will pay exactly the same amount whether you click through from Chess Holidays or navigate directly to the vendor's website. In some cases, special partner links may unlock a discount — we will always make this clear when that is the case.
Our recommendations are editorially independent
Chess Holidays destination guides and tournament recommendations are based solely on the quality of the chess event, the destination, practical travel logistics, and value for money. No hotel, airline, or booking platform can pay to improve their placement in our guides. Affiliate status is not a factor in our editorial decisions — destinations we do not have affiliate relationships with are covered with the same depth as those we do.
FTC compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, Chess Holidays clearly discloses any material connection between this site and the products or services recommended. This disclosure page, along with in-article notices, fulfils that requirement.
