Editorial independence
No party pays to be ranked. Our Destination Index™, Venue Index™, and the Provider, DMC, and CVB indexes are scored on published methodologies using live and public data. Sponsored content and promoted placements are always clearly labeled and never mixed into organic rankings. Where our founder holds an industry affiliation, we disclose it in full on the relevant page so readers can judge for themselves.
Transparent methodology
Every index publishes its pillars, weights, and the exact formula — a glass box, not a black box. Each ranked entity’s page shows how its score is computed and whether each input is live, computed, or editorial. Any organization can submit verified data for the next edition, free of charge.
Your data
We collect only what we need, never sell personal information, and let you access or delete your data at any time. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe and never touches our servers. Details are in our Privacy Policy, and you can remove your data through our Data Deletion page.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest through our infrastructure providers, access to production systems is restricted, and secrets are stored in encrypted environment configuration — never in code. Our full posture is described on the Governance & Compliance page.
Responsible operations
We run a lean, digital-first business and cover incentive travel through a responsible lens. Our approach is described on the Sustainability page.
