At Tripvac, we’re passionate about providing our readers with engaging, insightful, and reliable travel content. These guidelines are here to ensure that every piece of content we publish reflects our high standards and core values.
If you’re contributing to Tripvac, here’s what we expect.
Tripvac’s Mission
Tripvac is all about inspiring travel to some of the most exciting cities and places across the U.S. Our goal is to help travelers discover new destinations and create unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s uncovering hidden gems or sharing practical tips, our readers rely on us for trustworthy and helpful travel advice.
Our Tone
We keep it fun and engaging with a touch of sass! Our writing style is conversational, like chatting with a friend who’s been everywhere and knows all the best spots. But it’s not just about being entertaining—every piece needs to be packed with value, and most importantly, it should be clean and family-friendly. We steer clear of vulgar language and inappropriate topics.
Quality Standards
We take quality seriously. Every article must:
- Be 100% original—no plagiarism.
- Be well-researched and factually accurate. We expect contributors to use credible sources to back up any claims.
- Respect diversity and cultural differences. We want our content to be inclusive and respectful of all.
- Be practical and helpful. Our readers are here to plan their trips, so let’s give them information that’s useful and actionable.
Our Structure & Formatting
We love well-organized content. Here’s how we keep things clear and easy to read:
- Articles should be informative and in-depth, but not overwhelming. We aim for long-form content, but every word should add value.
- Use headings and subheadings to break up sections and make the content easy to navigate. Each place we talk about should have a clear name and address, so readers know exactly where to find it.
- Images are key! Every place mentioned should include an image to help readers visualize the spot. If you’re using an image that’s not your own, always include a proper credit and link to the source.
- Make use of lists, bullet points, and other formatting tools to make the information digestible and easy to follow.
Submission & Review Process
Here’s how our process works:
- Submit your article at least 5 days before the scheduled publication date.
- Our editorial team will review it and get back to you with feedback or revision requests within five business days.
- We’re always open to communication. If there’s anything you’re unsure about or need help with, feel free to reach out!
Legal & Ethical Guidelines
We take legal and ethical standards seriously at Tripvac. Here’s what we expect:
- Respect copyright laws. If you’re using third-party content (like images or quotes), make sure you have permission, and always give credit.
- Privacy matters. Never disclose personal or sensitive information without consent.
- Stay clear of any defamatory language or unverified claims. Our content should be accurate, respectful, and informative.
- If you’re writing sponsored content, it must be clearly marked as such. We believe in being transparent with our readers.
Sponsored Content
We’re open to partnerships and sponsored content, but we have strict rules to maintain the trust of our audience. Sponsored content must:
- Meet the same editorial standards as our regular articles.
- Always be disclosed clearly, so our readers know when content is sponsored or includes affiliate links.
We want Tripvac to be a place readers come to for fun, reliable, and practical travel advice. By following these guidelines, you’ll help us maintain the quality and trust that our readers have come to expect. Let’s work together to create content that not only informs but also inspires.
