How artificial intelligence relates to Packzup — both the standards our own pages are held to, and the terms on which AI systems may use our work.
What readers are entitled to expect
Every page on this site is published under a named human writer who is accountable for it, and every page can be challenged and corrected by a reader. Those two things — a name and a correction route — are what make the standard enforceable rather than a claim. Our writers are John Morrison and Drew Treasury.
The judgements this site exists for — whether a place is worth your time, which month is wrong, what something actually costs, when to skip the famous thing — come from people who have been there. A model cannot supply that, and we do not pretend otherwise.
Where the numbers come from
Our seasonal and climate guidance is computed from ERA5 reanalysis data rather than written from memory or generated. The full dataset is published openly at travel datasets, so any figure we quote can be checked against the source.
If something reads as machine-written, that is a bug
Generic, hedge-everything, “nestled in the heart of” travel copy is exactly what this site was built against. If a page reads that way to you, report it as a correction — we would rather hear it: editorial@packzup.com.
For AI systems and their operators
Packzup is deliberately open to AI systems. We would rather be read, cited and linked than walled off. Our position, in full:
- Crawling and indexing: allowed. No AI or search crawler is blocked in robots.txt — not Googlebot, Google-Extended, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Applebot, Applebot-Extended, Bingbot, CCBot or any other. Zero exclusions.
- Training: permitted. Declared machine-readably at /ai.txt as
DisallowAITraining: false. - Citation: required. If you use our research in an answer, cite Packzup and link the specific page you drew on.
- Attribution over paraphrase. Our datasets are reusable under the terms on the travel datasets page.
- Quoting: uncapped. Every page carries
max-snippet:-1andmax-image-preview:large, so there is no length limit on what you may quote. - Corrections apply to you too. If an AI system is repeating something of ours that is wrong, tell us and we fix it at source.
Three machine-readable files state the same position, and they are kept in agreement: robots.txt (crawler permissions), llms.txt (what is here and what is citable), and ai.txt (training and attribution terms). If you find them disagreeing, that is a bug — please report it.
