Affiliate Disclosure

How We Earn Revenue

The Lowdown Guide is an independently operated travel resource. To keep our content free for readers, we participate in affiliate programs with select travel partners. When you click certain links on our site and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Our Affiliate Partners

On this Tusayan page specifically, we work with one affiliate program:

• Viator — Tours and scenic-flight bookings. We earn a commission when you book a helicopter or airplane tour departing from Grand Canyon National Park Airport in Tusayan, or another Viator activity, through our links.

Hotel and lodging affiliate links for Tusayan (Expedia) live on this network's dedicated Tusayan basecamp guide, not on this page — see its own affiliate disclosure for those partnerships. This page is scoped to Tusayan as a standalone destination, not a lodging decision, and we kept the affiliate relationships scoped the same way.

How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links look and function like regular links. When you click one, a small tracking code tells the partner that you came from our site. If you go on to make a purchase, the partner pays us a referral fee. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the partner's website.

On this page, affiliate links appear in the scenic-flight booking call-to-action box (e.g., "Find Grand Canyon Air Tours on Viator").

What Is Not an Affiliate Link

The National Geographic Visitor Center's IMAX theater, Grand Canyon National Park Airport's public facilities, and any information about the Town of Tusayan's own government or history are not affiliate transactions. We earn nothing from any of them, and we will always tell you plainly when a direct booking or a free stop is the better call.

Our Editorial Independence

Affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content. Our recommendations are based on published source research and independent editorial judgment, not on which affiliate program pays the highest commission.

We will never recommend a tour, hotel, or attraction solely because it offers an affiliate commission. If we feature something, it's because we believe it provides real value to visitors planning a Tusayan-area trip.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, we disclose that this site contains affiliate links. This page serves as our comprehensive disclosure for this Tusayan page, and we also include brief disclosure notices near affiliate links throughout the site.
