Editorial Policy
How we write and maintain content
Last updated July 2026
Our editorial policy keeps the product useful and conservative: public safety information should be traceable to official sources, reviewed by a person, and clear about its limits.
Sourcing standards
Destination pages must link to official government travel advisory sources where the information comes from.
We prefer showing source wording and source dates over rewriting advice into unsupported conclusions.
Writing standards
We use plain language, avoid sensational claims, and do not label a country simply safe or unsafe.
If governments disagree, the disagreement should be visible rather than hidden behind one score.
Review and publishing
V1 updates are manually reviewed before publication. We do not claim automated real-time monitoring.
Every public destination page should show a page-level review date and source links.
AI and automation
AI may assist with drafting, checking consistency, or summarising internal notes, but AI output must not be published as travel-safety guidance without human review and source verification.
Commercial boundaries
Affiliate or commercial links must not change advisory wording, source ordering, or risk presentation. Safety information comes first.
Corrections
When a report shows that a public page is wrong or outdated, we verify it against official sources and update the page accordingly.
