Overview
On this page you can find everything that you need to know about the editorial standards for creating our high quality content at The Travel Advisory (TTA).
We take the production of our content very seriously, and everything we write and published is tailored and aimed at helping our readers with genuine information and advice. Our editorial guidelines are in place to ensure that every piece of content you read on TTA is clear, well researched and accurate to the best of our knowledge and ability.
Reflecting The Mission, Vision & Values
As we state on our about page, our mission is simple, it’s to ensure that our readers have a safe, cheap and enjoyable travel experience.
We believe there is a lot of misinformation out there, and useful travel information that you don’t find out until it’s too late – we aim to put an end to that with our extremely well researched and super detailed guides.
And this mission essentially lies at the heart of the vision and values of what we do, and all the content we produce. We do in-depth research and fact finding, combined with personal experience and knowledge, so that you don’t have to, pulling it all into a guide that we feel will genuine help the reader – if a piece of content we write doesn’t achieve this, it won’t go live.
The Type of Content We Publish
So, what will you find here on The Travel Advisory? The core of our content comprises of guides that are designed to provide helpful information for travellers to stay safe, or choose more affordable options, allowing them to spend more time and money on improving their travel experience.
You’ll find a mix of different types of content, but primarily it will be “how to” style guides, the occasional review, or genuine travel tips and tricks.
Research, Attribution & Link Policy
The content on our website is written by expert writers who are attributed as such in our author bio sections, if there is content within an article that is used from an outside source we will attribute it as such, often with a link to the publisher.
Throughout the website we do link to external sources as references or to attribute information, but we are not responsible for their content or views. If a post is paid for, contains adverts or sponsorships in anyway, this will be made clear on the post itself.
We hold ourselves accountable for the content we provide and every article must be honest, accurate and fact checked to the best of our ability as journalists. The articles should remain as objective as possible based on the information present. Please however be aware that with the very nature of what we post about here at TTA that articles can become outdated, and therefore incorrect, to combat this we include an edit log on every article so you can see when it was last updated – we always try our best to ensure that we update articles if we are aware of a change, but please if you find anything that you wish to challenge, contact us.
Commercial Content
We want to make it very clear that although you may find sponsored post or advertisements throughout the website our post is never influenced by them. The content within the articles still needs to adhere to these editorial guidelines, we control what is posted on The Travel Advisory – not the advertiser, if we don’t believe it to be helpful, informative or true we will reject the piece or advert.
On occasions the same is true of affiliate style links. We do place affiliate links from booking site partners within our posts which have unique tracking IDs, and in return if a purchase is made we will receive a small revenue to help keep the site going. We also want to make it clear that this is of a secondary importance to the article itself, the procedure we follow is we write the article based on genuine research and experience, and if it so happens content within the article we have an affiliate relationship too, we will add that link – NOT the other way around, content is NOT written with the sole purpose of containing affiliate links.
