About RealTripGuides

RealTripGuides is an independent travel publication. We write practical guides for people planning real trips and we are open about how each one was produced.

What we publish

We publish destination guides, itineraries, transport explainers and daily-cost breakdowns for a small, deliberately short list of places: the United Arab Emirates, the United States and Sri Lanka. We would rather cover a few places properly than generate thin pages for hundreds of destinations we know nothing about.

How we research

Guides are written and edited in-house. Anything that changes — fares, visa rules, opening hours, ticket prices — is checked against the official operator or government source and linked at the bottom of the page, with the date we last looked. Where a guide is based on a personal visit we say so in the text; where it is desk research, we say that instead. We do not invent experiences, quotes or credentials, and we do not publish AI-generated articles as if a person wrote them.

What we are not

We are not a booking agent, a tour operator, or a travel insurer. We do not sell trips, and we cannot arrange visas. Nothing on this site is professional legal, medical, financial or immigration advice — please see our disclaimer.

How the site is funded

The site is funded by advertising. Ad units are clearly labelled, separated from the article text, and never disguised as editorial links or navigation. Advertisers have no say in what we cover or what we conclude. If a guide ever contains affiliate or sponsored content, it carries a disclosure at the top of the page before you read it. See our advertising and disclosure policy.

Corrections

Travel information goes stale. If you find something wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it and record the change. Our corrections policy explains how that works, and our editorial policy sets out the standards we write to.
