Yes, DB Travels uses affiliate links from our partners to recommend travel services.

Affiliate links are specially marked links provided by companies or online platforms to promote products or services. When you click such a link and then make a purchase or sign up for a service, the person who shared the link receives a small commission. For you as the buyer, there are no additional costs – the price stays the same.

  • Partner integration: A website, blog, or social media channel shares an affiliate link to a product or service, e.g. an online shop or a booking platform.
  • Click and tracking: When you click the link, this is recorded by a tracking code that stores the website you came from.
  • Purchase or action: When you buy something or carry out a specific action (e.g. registering), this is attributed to the affiliate partner.
  • Commission: The affiliate partner receives a commission, which depending on the programme can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the purchase price.

Affiliate links are a win-win situation:

 

  • For you: You discover interesting products or services, often with helpful recommendations or reviews.
  • For websites: They can use the commission to fund their content, e.g. to offer free articles, videos, or tutorials.
  • For companies: They reach more customers through advertising by affiliate partners.

Yes, our affiliate links are safe and trustworthy. We work exclusively with reputable and well-known partners. Transparency matters to us.
