Advertising and sponsorship for businesses working in Syrian travel, hospitality, and the wider economy. Plus a clear statement of the one thing that is not available at any price.
Editorial coverage is not for sale. You cannot pay to be listed in the hotel directory, recommended as an operator, covered in the news section, or described favourably anywhere on this site. Advertising buys visibility, not opinion.
Advertising is labelled. Anything paid is marked as an advertisement or as sponsored and is visually distinct from editorial content.
If you advertise and we also cover you, we say so in the article itself. That disclosure is not negotiable and is the reason the rest of the site can be trusted.
The audience here is people planning to visit Syria, diaspora Syrians considering a return, and businesses looking at the market. If that is who you want to reach, this may be worth a conversation.
Restored courtyard houses, coastal hotels, and guesthouses wanting visibility with international visitors planning a trip.
Licensed Syrian operators and guides, who for most visitors are a practical necessity rather than a luxury.
Carriers serving Damascus, Aleppo, and the regional routes visitors actually use, plus ground transport.
Places in Damascus, Aleppo, and the coast that international visitors are likely to reach.
Museums, restoration projects, festivals, and heritage organisations with something to announce.
Producers and brands wanting reach into the diaspora and international markets, including Aleppo soap, textiles, and food.
Firms, funds, and institutions active in the reconstruction economy who want to reach a serious audience.
Law firms, advisers, and consultancies working on Syria-related mandates, where the audience genuinely needs them.
The largest untapped audience for this material is Arabic-speaking. I am open to conversations about an Arabic edition.
Formats are indicative and in development. Nothing here is sold yet, and rates are set case by case as the audience grows.
