Editorial policy

Select Travel Stories aims to publish accurate, independent writing about journeys and places. We make our reasoning clear, distinguish opinion from verifiable detail, and welcome careful correction when something needs attention.

Accuracy and context

We check factual statements against appropriate sources and take care not to present a broad impression as a universal rule. Travel conditions, access, services, and local customs can vary and change; where a story depends on such details, readers should confirm current information with relevant local sources before relying on it. We do not invent first-hand visits, interviews, or testing.

Independence and labelling

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not as a promise of favourable coverage. Any sponsored or partner material we accept is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. A partnership does not guarantee a story, an endorsement, or a particular conclusion.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or a meaningful omission, please contact us through the Contact page and identify the story and the issue. We review correction requests, amend material when warranted, and make the change clear where the nature of the correction calls for it.

Illustrations

Some illustrations on the site are AI-generated. They are illustrative, not documentary evidence of a real place, event, person, or journey. We aim to make their illustrative nature clear and do not use them as proof of travel conditions or local details.
