Editorial Policy

This page sets out how Korea Travel 101 researches, writes and corrects its guides, so you can judge how much weight to give what you read here.

Where the information comes from

Guides are compiled from primary sources rather than from other travel blogs. In practice that means official tourism boards and city governments, transport operators and their timetable apps, airport and immigration authorities, and the venue's own website. Where sources disagree, we say so instead of picking one silently.

What we do not claim

These are researched guides, not personal trip diaries. We do not claim to have eaten at every restaurant or stayed in every neighbourhood we describe, and you will not find invented first-person anecdotes here. Where something is a judgement call rather than a fact, it is written as a judgement call.

Prices, times and schedules

Korean fares, entry fees and opening hours change frequently, and seasonal and public-holiday closures are common. For anything that moves, we give a realistic range and name the official source to confirm it against before you travel. Treat every figure on this site as an estimate with a shelf life.

Corrections

When we find or are told about an error, we fix the page and update the date at the bottom of it. Substantive corrections — a wrong fare, a closed venue, a route that no longer runs — are made as soon as we can verify the change. Email contact@koreatravel101.com if you spot one.

Independence

The site is funded entirely by display advertising through Google AdSense. We do not accept sponsored posts, paid links, affiliate commissions, press trips or complimentary stays, and no advertiser sees or approves content before it is published. Nothing on this site is recommended because someone paid for it.

Use of AI tools

We use AI tools to help draft and structure articles from the sources described above. Every guide is reviewed against those sources before publication, and the site's editor is responsible for what appears here. AI assistance does not change who is accountable for an error.

Not professional advice

Nothing here is legal, immigration, medical or financial advice. Visa and entry requirements in particular depend on your nationality and change without notice — always confirm with the Korean embassy or consulate for your country and the official K-ETA service.
