How Nomapal country guides are made

Who writes our country pages

Every country guide on Nomapal is assigned to a named editor from our editorial team. Assignment is by region: the editor covering your country has visited it, written about it, or speaks the local language. The byline on each page links to the editor’s profile with their credentials and regional coverage.

What is written by humans

Our editors hand-write:

• The country narrative (the hook paragraph at the top of the page).
• The Best for / Heads up / Standout cards.
• The money note.
• The FAQ answers.
• The activity pills under the hero.

What is compiled automatically

The following fields are built from structured data sources and reviewed monthly rather than rewritten daily:

• City lists and city metadata (GeoNames + hand-curated overrides).
• Cost ranges (rolled up from our curated city cost-per-day dataset).
• Event calendars (compiled from festival and sports calendars, reviewed monthly).
• Airport data (IATA + passenger volume from public aviation datasets).
• Nomapal activity stats (active travelers, match-to-trip rate, peak month): derived from Nomapal app data, snapped to stable round values so the page is cacheable.

How we use AI

We do not use generative AI to draft country narratives, FAQ answers, or money notes. Every word of the human-written fields above is typed by a named editor.

We do use AI internally for:

• Spell-check and grammar passes on editor drafts.
• Flagging outdated facts for editor review (for example, "this visa rule was valid in 2023, is it still correct?").
• Translating user feedback written in other languages so our editors can respond.
• Suggesting internal link opportunities across the site.

AI never publishes content without editor review and sign-off.

Review cadence

Every country page carries a visible "Reviewed on" date. Our editors re-check pages on a rolling 60-day cadence. Pages covering fast-moving topics (visa rules, currency shifts, event dates) are refreshed more often when we catch a change.

Corrections

Spotted a mistake? Email corrections@nomapal.com. We triage within 48 hours and, if the correction lands, credit it with a dated correction note at the bottom of the affected page.
