Editorial leadership
Our editor-in-chief leads a team of section editors covering Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, Middle East & Africa, and cross-cutting subjects such as Documents and Airports.
Contributing editors
We work with 28 contributing editors across six continents. Each covers a region they know from the inside - usually because they live there.
Engineering
Our engineering team keeps ist-world.com fast, accessible, and free of the tracking bloat that defines most travel media. Site speed and reader trust are engineering KPIs, not just editorial ones.
Operations & support
A small operations team handles reader support, corrections, subscriptions, and the business side of an independent publication.
Advisors
We work with an informal group of advisors - former journalists, travel-industry veterans, and academics - who review our approach twice a year.
