CaucasusExpert.com participates in affiliate programmes. Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you book or purchase through them, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site free and continue publishing independent travel guides. Affiliate revenue helps fund research, site maintenance and the creation of new travel content.
Some of the links on CaucasusExpert.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link and make a booking or purchase, we may receive a small commission from the company you booked with. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the website.
We participate in affiliate programmes operated by:
Affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations. We only recommend products, services and businesses that we have researched, evaluated, or would genuinely consider using ourselves. If we think something is not worth booking, we say so — regardless of whether an affiliate programme exists.
Specifically:
Commission rates may vary between partners, but compensation never determines whether a product, service or business is recommended.
For pages covering visa requirements, safety, health and legal information — content we classify as Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) — affiliate links are included only where they are genuinely useful to the reader (travel insurance, airport transfers, eSIM). The informational content on these pages is sourced from official government and authoritative sources and is not influenced by affiliate relationships. We note clearly on each such page that readers should verify information from official sources before making decisions.
Affiliate links on CaucasusExpert.com are marked with rel="sponsored noopener" in the HTML, in compliance with Google’s guidelines for paid links. Most affiliate links are also visually presented as buttons with the partner name clearly shown (e.g. “Book — Booking.com”, “Discover Cars →”).
All articles that contain affiliate links include the following notice at the bottom of the page:
“This article contains affiliate links. If you book through them, CaucasusExpert.com earns a small commission at no extra cost to you. All recommendations are based on research, personal experience where available, and independent editorial judgement.”
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or editorial policy, contact us at hello@caucasusexpert.com. For information about how affiliate partners may process data, please see our Privacy Policy.
