About Traveller Chic
Who publishes Traveller Chic, how the guides are built, and what we will not do.
Traveller Chic covers considered travel - fewer places, chosen carefully, with an honest account of what the money buys. It is not a luxury site: it is a site about whether the expensive option is actually better.
How the site is built
Every recommendation at the top end is written against the cheaper alternative, so the reader can see what the difference costs and decide. Where the expensive option is not better, the page says so, which is the whole reason the site exists.
Facts come from primary sources. Rates, inclusions and seasonal closures are checked against the properties directly. Anything numeric carries the date it was checked, because a price without a date is not information. Geographic data comes from GeoNames and OpenStreetMap, photographs from Wikimedia Commons under their individual Creative Commons licences, and time zone data from the IANA database.
What we will not do
We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so. We do not claim to have tested something we have not: plan details and prices that come from a provider rather than from our own checking are labelled as such. And we do not publish a page to fill a gap in a keyword list.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say that we did. Email [email protected] with the page and what is inaccurate. Corrections to a specific fact are made on the page, and the update date on the page changes with them.
