Hi there, I'm creating a website for some accommodation offered in New Zealand.

I would like to create a links page within the website where people can find links to adventure activities and tours available in the local area.

My question is, do I need permission for each link to other people's websites? Is it a breach of copyright or something like that?

Many thanks

You don't strictly need permission, but it is common courtesy to ask first. In fact, it wouldn't be a bad idea to initiate a reciprocal link agreement with each of the website owners. This would result in your page being linked to from other sites, improving search engine rankings.

Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.
