If your living depended on sponsors making sales, and you came across one whose attitude appears to be "Yeah, we are shit at selling, we know our affiliates will be better off elsewhere, but we want them to send us their traffic, so let's try and hide the facts from them to trick them into promoting us."

If I were you (assuming your tours are not crap) I'd make this your number one priority. Not only are the only affiliates you are liable to get newbies, with little idea how to create traffic; but more importantly people will look at your site, form an opinion from it as it is, and talk about it to other WMs. Remember a bad reputation is hard to shift once achieved.

I'd also strongly recommend you put your advertising (to WMs) on hold (including things like sig links) until this is fixed, because at the moment you are paying good money to get WMs to put you on their "never use" lists.
