The Velvet Runway is an independent editorial publication. My recommendations and editorial content are guided by personal experience, genuine interest and a commitment to providing useful and relevant information to readers.
Affiliate Links
The Velvet Runway participates in selected affiliate marketing programmes. This means that some links on this website are affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission if you click on a link and make a purchase or booking.
This comes at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships help support the publication and allow me to continue creating independent editorial content. Products, services and experiences are selected on their merits, and affiliate relationships do not determine my editorial recommendations.
Affiliate links are identified or accompanied by an appropriate disclosure within the relevant content.
Press Visits, Invitations & Complimentary Experiences
I maintain professional relationships with press agencies, tourism boards, destination marketing organisations, tour operators, brands, airlines and hotel properties to facilitate research, first-hand experiences and editorial coverage.
In the course of this work, I may occasionally accept complimentary hotel stays or restaurant visits to experience a property or destination first-hand.
These invitations do not guarantee coverage, a positive review or publication. All editorial decisions remain entirely my own, and I retain the freedom to express my honest opinions and experiences.
Where accommodation, meals or other experiences have been provided free of charge, this will be clearly disclosed in the relevant article.
I do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, guaranteed editorial coverage, sponsored articles, paid link insertions or paid editorial placements.
Editorial Independence
The Velvet Runway is committed to maintaining its editorial independence.
I only recommend destinations, hotels, restaurants, products and experiences that I genuinely consider relevant and worthwhile for my readers.
Whether content is based on personal expenditure, an independently arranged visit, a press invitation or an affiliate relationship, my aim is always to provide honest, considered and useful recommendations.
