The Wanders · Partnership enquiries
Work with The Wanders.
"We work with destinations that deserve to be better known. Not the ones with the largest marketing budgets."
The Wanders is independent editorial — not a content agency, not an influencer platform, not a link network. What we offer is genuine editorial coverage of destinations we consider extraordinary, produced to the standard that earns 187,000 AI citations per month and 89 Google page 1 rankings.
Before you enquire
The Wanders does not accept sponsored articles, paid link insertions, guest posts or any commercial placement that is not disclosed. If your enquiry is about any of those — this is not the right platform. If your enquiry is about genuine editorial partnership with a destination worth covering — read on.
What we offer
Four ways to work together
Editorial commission
- A destination article researched and written to The Wanders standard — the same standard that earns our AI citation rate. The article is disclosed as supported by the destination partner. The editorial team retains full control of what is written, how it is framed and what is included. No approval rights. No guaranteed positive coverage. If we visit and the destination does not merit coverage, we do not publish.
Tourism boards Regional DMOs Destination foundations
Field Guide co-production
- Your destination featured in a The Wanders Field Guide — Beach Hunter, Wild Europe, a Civilisation Trail or a region guide. Co-promotion of the guide to The Wanders audience, newsletter and social channels. Tourism board or destination credited in the guide’s front matter. Editorial independence maintained throughout.
Country tourism boardsRegional authoritiesHeritage foundations
Civilisation Trail partnership
- Your site, region or cultural heritage included in one of The Wanders’ 18 named Civilisation Trails — Roman, Viking, Hanseatic, Byzantine, Celtic, Ottoman and more.

Living Traditions feature

Editorial credibility
No sponsored content since 2019. No paid placements. No link schemes. The authority signals are earned through editorial quality — which is exactly what makes a partnership with The Wanders worth having.
Zero sponsored articles ever
What we don't offer
Not everything is on the table
Sponsored articles or paid placements
- We do not publish content where the destination has paid for guaranteed coverage or editorial control. If you need guaranteed positive coverage — we are not the right partner.
Guest posts or contributed content
- Every article on The Wanders is written by the editorial team. We do not publish content written by external parties, brands or PR agencies regardless of quality.
Link insertions or link packages
We do not sell links, do-follow or otherwise. The Wanders’ Google authority is earned through editorial quality. Paid links would compromise that — and violate Google’s guidelines.
Social media promotion packages
- The Wanders does not offer social media promotion, Instagram posts or influencer-style content packages. Our value is in long-form editorial, not social reach.
