Every partner surface has a visible relationship label before the traveler acts.
Paid placements
Commercial modules with the label still on.
A placement can help a traveler notice relevant inventory, openings, and routes. It cannot rewrite the recommendation.
Hero image is illustrative, not property evidence.
Openings, rates, image rights, benefits, and status claims need current source context.
Stay22-compatible provider links stay detectable when a commercial path is shown.

Inventory taxonomy
Sponsored products that still respect the read.
Paid placements are packaged as visible units, not hidden influence. Each unit has a surface, label, disclosure, relationship type, review status, and editorial-separation note.
Named inventory
Destination modules, hotel watches, opening watches, briefing sponsors, availability cards, and partner notes.
Unavoidable marking
Sponsored placement, Paid partner placement, Partner supplied, Hosted review disclosure.
Presence without control
The sponsor buys a module, not a rank, verdict, or recommendation.
Commercial inventory
Named products, labeled before they sell.
Inventory is packaged by surface and traveler intent. Each unit carries a visible paid relationship label, source expectations, and an editorial separation note.
Paid partner link. VIAIVE may earn compensation at no additional cost; editorial verdicts are written before partner paths.
Sponsored destination module
A labeled unit on a destination, guide, or Live Intel surface when a partner route is relevant to the decision.
Tourism boards, hotel groups, private island destinationsSponsored hotel watch
A paid opening or reopening presence with status, source posture, traveler fit, and what remains unverified.
New hotels, major renovations, branded residencesPartner availability card
A near-decision module for room, villa, sailing, or experience availability, kept separate from the VIAIVE read.
Hotels, villas, cruise lines, experience operatorsWeekly briefing sponsor
A named sponsor slot around a weekly intelligence product, with sponsor label and editorial copy separated.
Premium travel brands, destinations, tourism partnersProperty intelligence note
A partner-supplied factual note that can enter a property page only with a label and source context.
Hotels, villas, DMCs, cruise operatorsHosted review context
A hosted editorial experience where the hosting relationship is disclosed and the conclusion remains independent.
Hotels, cruise lines, destination partnersPartner workflow
From evidence to labeled surface.
Commercial work moves only when the useful traveler facts are separated from the paid relationship. That makes the module sellable without making the page weaker.
Evidence intake
Partner sends the property, destination, route, or product evidence with image rights and commercial terms separated from editorial claims.
Fit review
VIAIVE checks traveler fit, source posture, availability reality, image truth, and whether the page needs a commercial module at all.
Labeled placement
If accepted, the unit ships with its paid label, disclosure, source note, and an editorial separation guard on the same surface.
Sample placement cards
Commercial units that still look like VIAIVE.
These examples show the shape of the sellable module: label first, context second, disclosure near the action, and a visible note that the verdict remains separate.
Paid partner placementOpening watch
New resort arrival watch
A Riviera Maya opening-watch card can surface launch timing, alternate resort sets, and one clean provider-detectable availability path.
Paid partner link. VIAIVE may earn compensation at no additional cost; editorial verdicts are written before partner paths.
The sponsor can buy presence. VIAIVE still decides whether the opening is a reserve, wait, or verify signal.
Sponsored placementDestination module
High-season destination push
A destination partner can sponsor a route module while the page still shows comparable alternatives and visible methodology.
Paid partner link. VIAIVE may earn compensation at no additional cost; editorial verdicts are written before partner paths.
Sponsor copy is contained in the module. The destination read, timing notes, and related guides remain editorial.
Sponsored intelligenceWeekly briefing
Briefing sponsor block
A weekly briefing sponsor can underwrite a distribution moment without writing the travel intelligence or the next-action verdict.
Paid partner link. VIAIVE may earn compensation at no additional cost; editorial verdicts are written before partner paths.
Sponsor identity appears near the unit. Analysis, claims, and recommended action remain VIAIVE controlled.
Editorial separation
Partners can supply evidence. VIAIVE keeps the read.
Paid presence is compatible with trust only when labels, source posture, corrections, and visual provenance are visible on the same surface.
Full policyLabel at the moment of attention
Paid units carry a visible sponsored or paid partner label next to the module, not hidden in a footer.
Evidence is welcome, verdicts are not sold
A partner can supply evidence, imagery, rates, benefits, and status notes. VIAIVE decides the traveler-facing read.
Claims stay source-aware
Opening dates, room readiness, availability, benefits, and image rights need a current source or a clear review state.
Image truth is part of trust
AI or illustrative imagery can enrich a partner surface, but it is labeled as illustrative and never treated as verified property evidence.
Paid placements
What this surface resolves.
Sponsored destination module
A labeled module for a destination, tourism board, hotel group, or travel brand when the message helps the traveler choose timing, area, or route.
Partner availability card
A near-action unit for stays, villas, sailings, or experiences with paid disclosure and a provider-detectable commercial path where applicable.
Briefing sponsor slot
A sponsor can underwrite distribution around a weekly briefing while VIAIVE keeps the intelligence, claims, and traveler action independent.
Allowed: labeled sponsored units
Example — a card reading "Sponsored placement · Riviera Maya opening watch" with a provider-detectable link and the line "Paid partner link. VIAIVE may earn compensation at no additional cost; editorial verdicts are written before partner paths." The outbound link carries rel="sponsored nofollow". The module sits beside, not inside, the editorial verdict text.
Disallowed: unlabeled or verdict-adjacent units
Example of what will not run — a paragraph that reads like editorial copy ("This is the best resort in the region") with a hidden affiliate link and no sponsor label. Also disallowed: any sponsored unit inserted inside the verdict paragraph itself, a "Recommended" or "Editor's Pick" badge applied to a paid unit, or a sponsored link without rel="sponsored nofollow" attribution.
Where sponsored units cannot appear
Paid modules cannot appear inside the verdict sentence, inside the methodology or evidence-block sections, inside the "what to verify before booking" checklist, or replacing a comparison alternative. They may appear beside, above, or below editorial content with a clear visual boundary (border, label, or background change).

Methodology
Paid placement inventory is accepted only when the module can show its relationship label, source posture, commercial path, and separation from the VIAIVE recommendation.
