Research
Every guide starts with a research brief. Editors are required to identify at least three primary sources - government pages, transit authorities, official tourism boards - before writing begins.
Where possible, editors report from the ground. Where not possible, guides are commissioned to writers with direct experience of the region.
Editing
Every published article passes through two editors: a section editor for structure and factual accuracy, and a copy editor for style and clarity. Legal and immigration content receives an additional review.
Fact-checking
Every specific claim - a price, an opening hour, a policy - is traceable to a primary source in our internal notes. We do not cite sources we haven't read.
When facts change, the article is updated, and a dated note is appended describing the change.
Corrections
We publish corrections openly. A correction note includes what was wrong, when it was corrected, and the source that established the correct information. We never edit history silently.
Sourcing
Editors identify sources by role when relevant to trust (a professor of history for a cultural claim, an airline pilot for a technical claim). Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and always with an editor's approval.
Conflicts of interest
Editors disclose any personal or financial relationship with a destination or brand they are covering. Editors do not cover regions where they hold a business interest.
Reader feedback
Every feedback message is read. Corrections proposed by readers are investigated and applied where verified. Frequent feedback themes shape our editorial coverage.
