Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 2026

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and the requirements of the affiliate networks through which Bella participates in affiliate programs.

1. What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship means that Bella earns a commission when a guest books an activity or experience through a link provided within the Bella platform. The commission is paid by the activity provider — not by the guest. The price you pay for any activity is exactly the same whether you book through a Bella affiliate link or directly through the provider's website.

2. Our Affiliate Program Partners

Bella currently participates in the following affiliate programs:

  • GetYourGuide — a global marketplace for tours, activities, and experiences. Bella may earn a commission of approximately 8% on completed bookings made through GetYourGuide links in the Bella platform. GetYourGuide's affiliate program is managed through CJ Affiliate (cj.com) and Awin (awin.com).
  • Tiqets — a marketplace for attraction tickets, museums, and cultural experiences. Bella may earn a commission of approximately 6% on completed bookings made through Tiqets links in the Bella platform. Tiqets' affiliate program is managed through Awin (awin.com).
  • Viator — a TripAdvisor company offering tours and activities worldwide. Bella may earn a commission of approximately 8% on completed bookings made through Viator links in the Bella platform. Viator's affiliate program is managed through Impact Radius (impact.com).

In addition to third-party affiliate programs, Bella works with locally curated vendors in each active market. When guests book directly with Bella-curated vendors, Bella may earn a referral commission of 8–20% negotiated directly with each vendor. These arrangements are separate from the affiliate networks listed above.

3. How We Select Activities

Activity and experience recommendations presented within the Bella platform are selected based on the following criteria:

  • Relevance to the guest's stay location and property market
  • Quality and guest satisfaction ratings
  • Alignment with guest preferences collected during itinerary setup
  • Local market expertise from our Event Coordinator partners

Commission rates do not influence which activities are recommended or how they are ranked within the Bella platform. Bella-curated vendors are featured based on quality and local relationship — not commission percentage.

4. Cookie Duration and Tracking

When you click an affiliate link within the Bella platform, the affiliate network places a tracking cookie on your browser. Cookie durations vary by network:

  • GetYourGuide: 30-day cookie
  • Tiqets: 30-day cookie
  • Viator: 30-day cookie

This means Bella may earn a commission on a booking made within 30 days of you clicking an affiliate link, even if you do not book immediately. If you book directly through the provider's website without using a Bella link, Bella does not earn a commission.

5. No Additional Cost to You

Affiliate commissions are paid by the activity provider from their existing margin. You will never pay more for an activity because you booked through Bella. In some cases, providers offer exclusive discounts or added value specifically for guests coming through affiliate partners — in which case you may actually pay less or receive additional benefits.

6. Bella-Curated Vendor Relationships

In addition to the affiliate programs above, Bella works directly with local vendors in each active market — including restaurant groups, fishing charters, water sports operators, and tour companies. These are independent commercial relationships. When a guest books a Bella-curated experience directly through the platform, Bella may earn a referral fee from the vendor. These arrangements are disclosed to guests within the relevant activity listing in the Bella app.

7. Event Coordinator Program

Bella partners with local Event Coordinators who curate and execute on-property guest experiences. When a guest selects a Curated Event through the Bella platform, Bella charges the Event Coordinator a referral fee equal to 15% of the event's hard costs upon completion. This fee is built into the coordinator's pricing model and is not an additional charge to the guest. Bella does not collect payment from guests for curated events — the coordinator invoices guests directly.

8. FTC Compliance

In accordance with FTC guidelines, Bella discloses material connections — including affiliate relationships and referral fees — wherever they are relevant to a guest's decision to book an activity or experience. This disclosure page, the Privacy Policy, and in-app activity listings collectively satisfy Bella's FTC disclosure obligations.

If you have questions about any specific affiliate relationship or commercial arrangement, contact us at corporate@grouphuff.com and we will provide full details.

9. Changes to This Disclosure

Bella's affiliate relationships will expand as the platform grows into additional markets and adds new activity sources. This page will be updated whenever a new affiliate program is added or an existing arrangement changes materially. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent change was made.
