Our Sourcing and Editorial Policy
At TourismReporter.com, we strive to provide accurate, insightful, and engaging coverage of global tourism news, trends, and sustainable practices. As a newly launched platform dedicated to the travel industry, our content is rooted in thorough research and a commitment to journalistic integrity.
All articles are based on reliable, verifiable sources, including:
- Official press releases, announcements, and reports from international bodies like UN Tourism, national tourism boards, and destination management organizations.
- Public data from reputable government websites, industry associations, academic studies, and trusted market research firms.
- Direct statements, interviews, and communications with tourism experts, stakeholders, and officials when applicable.
We fact-check information rigorously, prioritize primary sources for key facts and quotes, and ensure originality in our reporting—avoiding plagiarism and attributing external ideas or data fairly. Hyperlinks to supporting resources are embedded where they enhance the reader experience without disrupting flow, allowing for deeper exploration.
TourismReporter.com draws inspiration from the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Code of Ethics: seeking truth and reporting it, minimizing harm, acting independently, and being accountable and transparent. In our concise, news-style articles, we focus on readability while maintaining high standards—inline citations are used sparingly for opinion or analysis pieces but always available upon request.
Errors, if any, will be corrected promptly with a note on the article. We welcome feedback from readers, sources, or industry professionals. If you have questions about sourcing for a specific story, suggestions, or concerns, please email us at editor@tourismreporter.com. Your trust is our foundation as we grow into a go-to resource for the tourism community!
