Every article says how it was made: a research guide is based on primary sources, a first-hand report on a real trip with our own photos. The information is checked against its sources – by a person or in a separate AI review; which of the two it was is stated on the article, with the date. Ads are labelled, and a commission never decides the order in which anything appears.
