About SnapDestinations

What this is

A free, static website with no accounts, no advertising, no affiliate links and no tracking. It currently covers 20 destinations and 7 guides. Each destination combines sourced facts — identity, coordinates, ten years of historical conditions — with original research on who it suits, what it costs relative to its peers, how hard the trip is, and what you would be giving up.

Who writes it

Destination research, analysis and editorial recommendations are produced by the SnapDestinations editorial team, working to the methodology and the sources documented on this site. Every destination profile and travel guide carries the same collective byline — The SnapDestinations Team — because the work is reviewed and published as a team rather than credited to invented individuals.

What this is not

It is not a booking site, a flight search engine, a weather service, an itinerary generator or a chatbot. There is no artificial intelligence answering your questions here, and there is no database behind the scenes: everything you see was written or checked before it was published.

Why the coverage is small

It would be easy to publish a thousand destination pages by filling a template with plausible-sounding numbers. We would rather publish a handful that are actually true. When a fact is unavailable from a source we are allowed to use, we leave it out and say so, and a destination does not get a page at all until it has enough real substance to be worth reading.

How it is funded

It is not. There is no revenue, no advertising and no commercial partnership at present. If that changes, the change will be disclosed here, and our data licences will be revisited first — some of the data we use today is available to us precisely because the site is non-commercial.
