How we research and publish

Start with the question a traveller needs to answer

A guide should help with a real decision: choosing a base, comparing a transfer or fitting a route into the available days. We keep general inspiration separate from detailed guidance and label incomplete route sketches.

Check the source, then show the evidence

For destination context, we use sources such as Vietnam’s tourism authority and UNESCO. For changing operational details, the relevant operator or government service is the preferred source. Opening a booking homepage alone does not verify a fare or departure for a particular date.

When we publish a changing fact such as a price, opening time, timetable or entry rule, it must have a supporting source and a checked date. A page update date and a source check date mean different things: editing a page does not automatically recheck every fact. If a fact cannot be verified, we omit it or direct you to the provider instead of supplying an estimate as fact.

Keep recommendations separate from facts

A suggested number of days, hotel area or sightseeing sequence is an editorial judgement. It is labelled as a planning choice and should explain its tradeoffs. We do not invent first-hand experience, ratings, quotations, authors’ credentials or personal recommendations from local residents.

Source-based research cannot establish whether an individual traveller will find a route accessible or an arrival convenient. Confirm requirements with the actual property, venue or transport provider before booking.

Use illustrations honestly

AI-generated travel images are editorial illustrations, not documentary photographs or evidence of a visit. They must not be used to substantiate a specific hotel, attraction, meal or transport service. Their role is visual context; the written guide and linked sources carry the factual information.

Review languages before publication

English is the default language. Our publishing standard is a complete review of each translation before it becomes an indexable language version. A language option should lead to content in that language, not silently substitute English.

Where a reviewed translation is unavailable, we keep the English guide available without claiming the translated guide is ready. Translated practical details need the same source checks as the original.

Keep commercial interests visible

Editorial recommendations must not be sold as independent rankings. Any future affiliate link, sponsored placement or commercial relationship must be identified where readers encounter it. A payment must not be presented as evidence that an option is best for everyone.

Correct the claim and recheck its source

Our correction standard is to check the disputed claim against its source, revise or remove inaccurate information, and update the relevant verification date only after checking again. We do not describe a page as field-verified without evidence of that work.

A public correction submission channel is not available yet. For an immediate travel decision, use the linked official service or operator to check current details. This site does not provide emergency or booking support.
