Diversity & Inclusion
Families travel in every shape there is. Our job is to be useful to as many of them as we can — which means covering travel honestly for different needs, writing inclusively, and being straight about what our own vantage point can and cannot tell you.

Why This Matters for a Travel Publisher
Travel is not a single experience. The same hotel, park, or cruise can be brilliant for one family and difficult for another, depending on ages, budgets, mobility, dietary needs, and a dozen other things. A travel publisher that writes for only one kind of traveller is not much use to everyone else.
We Are Guests is a small, family-run publication. We cannot claim to represent every traveller's experience first-hand. What we can do is cover travel in a way that takes different needs seriously, write about people with respect, and be honest about the edges of our own perspective.
Inclusive, Useful Coverage
Wherever it is relevant to a planning decision, we try to give readers the detail that different families actually need:
- Accessibility. Step-free access, lifts, accessible rooms and bathrooms, pool access, ride and attraction accessibility, and the practical reality of getting around — noted where we can speak to it.
- Families of different shapes and sizes. Babies and toddlers, older children and teenagers, larger family groups, single-parent trips, and multi-generational travel all plan differently.
- Dietary needs. Allergies, intolerances, and dietary or religious requirements, where we can report on how well a place caters for them.
- Budget range. Honest coverage across price points — not only the trips that cost the most.
- Neurodiversity and sensory needs. Quiet spaces, sensory load, crowd levels, and queue strategies, where we are able to speak to them.
When we have not been able to assess something — an accessibility feature we could not test, a need we have no direct experience of — we say so, rather than implying a coverage we cannot back up.
How We Write About People
We aim to write inclusively and respectfully:
- We describe people and families in their own terms, and we avoid stereotypes about who travels, how, or with whom.
- We mention personal characteristics — disability, family structure, background — only when they are genuinely relevant to the travel point being made.
- We use respectful, current language, and we update our wording as good usage changes.
Who and What We Cover
Coverage decisions are made on usefulness to readers — not on who an operator is, and not to fill a quota. Within that, we actively try to widen the range of destinations, price points, and types of trip we cover, so the publication is useful beyond any one template of a family holiday.
The Limits of Our Perspective
Honesty about diversity also means honesty about ourselves. We Are Guests is written by a small team with one particular vantage point. There are needs and experiences we do not share and therefore cannot review first-hand.
We would rather name that limit than paper over it. Where a topic deserves a perspective we do not have, our preference is to seek it out, attribute it clearly, or point readers to a better-placed source — not to fake authority we have not earned.
Tell Us Where We Fall Short
If our coverage has missed a need, got something wrong about a group of travellers, or used language that landed badly, we want to hear it. Email editorial@weareguests.net, or use our feedback page. We treat that kind of message as a genuine help, and it shapes how we cover travel.
