Do you sell tours or bookings?
No. IST World is an editorial publication. We don't sell tours, book hotels, or run any transaction. Our recommendations are editorial.
How do you make money?
Display and newsletter advertising, a small number of affiliate arrangements clearly disclosed on each article, and optional reader memberships. No sponsored content masquerading as editorial.
Can I republish your articles?
Short excerpts with attribution are welcome. Full-article republication requires written permission - email editorial@ist-world.com.
I found an error. What do I do?
Email editorial@ist-world.com with the article URL and the correction. Verified corrections are published with a dated note.
Can I contribute an article?
We commission most work rather than accepting unsolicited submissions. Pitches with a strong regional angle are welcome - send to editorial@ist-world.com.
How often are guides updated?
Every guide is reviewed at least annually and updated whenever material facts change (visa rules, safety conditions, major closures).
Where are you based?
IST World LLC is headquartered in Waco, Texas, with contributing editors distributed globally.
