How we fact-check
Every named place in a MASA story — every restaurant, hotel, landmark and address — must be a real, verifiable place. Stories produced with AI assistance additionally pass an automated verification gate that cross-checks named venues against live web sources before publication; anything that fails is held back, never published. Volatile details like prices and opening hours are always framed as approximate — check official sites before you travel.
Photography, first
Travel is visual, so we are too. Our photography comes from the talented community on Unsplash and Pexels, credited wherever the photographer is on record, and every image is looked at by a human before it runs — it has to show the actual place the story describes, not a lookalike from somewhere else. When a picture is regional rather than the exact spot, the caption says so.
The atlas
Every destination we cover carries recorded climate normals from its own weather station, the months that suit it best, an honest budget level and the practical essentials for its country — so a MASA guide is something you can actually plan a trip around.
