Published so that travelers, partners and journalists can check us against it. When a brand falls short of this document, the document wins.
Every destination, season and operator a brand recommends has been examined by a named person against primary sources — park authorities, operator documentation, direct enquiry. Historical guidance is labeled as guidance.
A traveler sees the full price — transfers, park and concession fees, levies, single supplements — before any commitment. Teaser rates and undisclosed markups are prohibited across the group.
A brand tells a traveler when the month is wrong, the country is wrong, or the year is wrong to go at all. A recommendation that cannot lose the booking is not a recommendation.
Operators enter a brand's recommendations only after assessment against guiding standard, safety practice, conservation and community position, and pricing transparency. Standing is reviewed every season.
No operator, property or destination can pay to be recommended, ranked or featured. Commercial relationships are disclosed where they exist and never alter the recommendation.
Guides and destination pages carry a byline and a last-reviewed date, cite their sources, and are corrected in public when wrong. Editorial standards for each brand are published on that brand's site.
Brands collect what is needed to plan a trip and nothing else, state plainly what will happen to it, and never sell or trade it. Consent is opt-in.
Every brand in the group shares a horizon, a type system and a photographic standard: natural light, real places, no stock tells, no on-image credits. If it looks templated, it fails.
