Editorial policy

Brilliant Compass aims to make travel planning easier to understand without pretending that one answer suits every traveller. We value clear explanations, careful wording and transparency about how material appears on the site.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against suitable information available to us and write so readers can distinguish explanation, opinion and suggestion. Travel requirements can change and differ by destination; our general editorial coverage is not a substitute for checking current official guidance when a trip depends on it.

Independence and corrections

Editorial decisions are made for the reader, not to secure a favourable mention. If you spot a factual error or unclear passage, contact us with the article and the detail in question. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted, making significant changes clear to readers.

Paid and partner material

Any material created in collaboration with a partner or supported by payment will be clearly identified at the point where it appears. Payment does not guarantee editorial approval, and partner placements are kept distinct from independently chosen editorial coverage.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence. Illustrations are not evidence of a destination, event or experience; we aim to label AI-generated images clearly and avoid presenting them as documentary photographs.
