Partnerships
Rising Travel Stories considers collaborations that fit thoughtful travel storytelling and are useful to readers. A partnership must be distinct from independent editorial coverage and clearly labelled wherever it appears.
Possible collaborations
We consider commissioned explainers, clearly identified partner features and relevant placements for travel-related resources. A proposal should name the intended audience, the material or placement requested and the relationship behind it. Relevance to the publication matters more than broad promotional claims.
Editorial boundaries
Partners cannot buy an independent endorsement or control unrelated editorial decisions. We do not present paid material as an unbiased review, and we may decline proposals that rely on unsupported claims or do not suit the publication. Any accepted commercial material is labelled clearly.
How to propose a partnership
Use the Contact page and select the partnership option. Describe the organisation or project, the collaboration you have in mind and how the material would serve readers. The proposal is considered on its fit and clarity; sending it does not imply acceptance.
A trip is not a race to collect places.
We look at the decisions that shape a journey, and the moments that can matter more than a full itinerary.
