Our opinions
Being honest to our readers is of the utmost importance to us. We will never promote any products or services that we do not believe in or have not tested. We will also never promote something that is not valuable to our readers or does not fit into categories of oohtravels site.
If we say we like something, it means we do. Most of the companies that we promote are the companies whose products or services we have tested or checked up thoroughly, or like their philosophy or attitudes.
Sponsored posts, product reviews, and affiliate marketing
We will also accept reviews of travel-related products or services, but only when we are sure that they will bring benefits to our readers. We will be always 100% honest in our reviews. If a travel-related product or service is mentioned by us without any disclaimer, it means that we are not compensated for it and are happy to provide our readers with the relevant information.
