Travel Market News covers the business of travel — aviation, tourism economics, destinations and travel markets. These are the standards every article on this site is held to.

Sourcing

• Every statistic, fee, date and rule in our reporting is grounded in a verifiable source — official bodies (IATA, ICAO, UN Tourism, national governments), company statements and filings, or reputable industry publications.
• Each article ends with a Sources list linking to the material it draws on, so readers can check our work.
• Where facts are disputed or provisional, we say so in the text rather than presenting them as settled.

Independence

Our coverage is editorially independent. We do not accept payment for favourable coverage, and airlines, tourism boards and companies we write about have no approval rights over our reporting. If content is ever sponsored, it will be clearly labelled.

Accuracy and corrections

Travel rules and industry figures change quickly. When we learn a published article contains a material error, we correct it promptly and note the change where appropriate. To request a correction, email editor@travelmarketnews.com with the article link and the issue; we review every request.

Images

Photography is used under Creative Commons and public-domain licences, primarily from Wikimedia Commons. Every cover image carries a visible credit naming the photographer, the licence and the source page. Licensing concerns are handled the same way as corrections — email us and we will fix or remove the image.

How we work

Travel Market News is a small independent publication. We are open about how our articles are made, because we think readers are entitled to know.

Most articles are produced by an AI-assisted editorial workflow. Research, drafting and a sub-editing and fact-checking pass are carried out by AI tools working against primary sources — official statements, regulators, company filings, trade bodies and named news reports — and every article lists the sources it drew on so you can check them yourself. Some articles are reviewed individually by a person before publication; many are not. We would rather say that plainly than imply a level of human oversight we do not apply to every piece.

What this does not change is where responsibility sits. Editorial responsibility for everything published here rests with Travel Market News, not with the tools we use. If we get something wrong it is our error, and the Accuracy and corrections policy above applies in full — tell us and we will fix it, with a visible note on the article.
