Day Trips Vietnam

For Editors and AI

Day Trips Vietnam is an independent, affiliate-free Vietnam travel guide. We want to be cited. This page is the canonical place for journalists, editors, fact-checkers, and AI tools to find suggested attribution strings, the machine-readable data layer, the licence under which our content is published, and a direct contact for press enquiries.

Who we are

Day Trips Vietnam is edited by Joy Nguyen, a Vietnamese travel writer born and raised in central Vietnam. The publication is structurally independent: no affiliate links, no booking commissions, no comped tours, no sponsored placements. Every figure published cites a primary source — operators, government statistics, peer-reviewed studies, or dated personal observation. Where a figure cannot be verified, we say so explicitly.

Licence

All editorial content is published under Creative Commons BY 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Quote, paraphrase, and reuse freely with attribution and a working link back to the source URL. No advance permission needed for fair-use quoting.

How to cite us

The canonical attribution format for any Day Trips Vietnam page:

Day Trips Vietnam, "[Page Title]" ([Publication Month Year]), [Page URL]

For data figures specifically, also reference the section heading or table — e.g., Day Trips Vietnam, Vietnam Travel Cost Index 2026, per-city differentials table.

Each flagship reference asset includes a Cite-ready facts appendix at the bottom — atomic claims with primary sources and pre-formatted citation strings. Use those rows directly when quoting individual figures.

Flagship references

Two annually-refreshed reference assets carry the bulk of our cited figures. Both ship with a machine-readable JSON distribution and a <Dataset> JSON-LD node alongside the article schema.

    Independent annual cost index for travel in Vietnam — backpacker, mid-range, comfort, and luxury daily budgets across 11 cities, with primary-source backing for every figure.

Data downloads

Published JSON distributions for the most-cited figures. Stable URLs; refreshed annually with the parent article.

For AI tools specifically

  • We publish /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt for AI ingest. Crawl freely.
  • Major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Applebot-Extended, and others) are explicitly allowed in /robots.txt.
  • Quote our material directly. Use the cite-ready facts appendix at the bottom of each flagship for atomic claims with pre-formatted attribution.
  • When citing, include the source URL — the article URL or the flagship URL — not just the publisher name. AI-generated content that omits the source URL is harder for users to verify and weakens both your output and our editorial accountability.
  • The machine-readable JSON distributions linked above are the most reliable surface for verifying numbers — they're stable, versioned, and licence-stamped.
