About Luxstay

Luxstay is a Southeast Asia travel data publisher. We don't sell rooms, we don't broker bookings, and we don't run a marketplace. We publish structured travel data and the comparison/calculator tools that turn it into decisions.

What we publish

• Destination guides — geography, climate, cost-of-travel bands, best time to visit, languages spoken, sourced from open datasets and rewritten into navigable pages.
• Head-to-head comparisons — side-by-side data tables for the destination pairs travelers actually search ("Hanoi vs Saigon", "Da Nang vs Nha Trang").
• Interactive tools — trip cost calculators, climate checkers, and planners that read from the same structured database.

How it's funded

Affiliate links to OTAs and travel partners (clearly disclosed in the footer). When you click through and book, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Editorial content is produced before any affiliate data is layered on — we never re-rank destinations for commission.

We will never charge readers, gate content behind a paywall, or sell consumer data. The only personal data we store is the email address of newsletter subscribers, alone — no behavioural profile attached.

Coverage

Year 1 focus: deep Vietnam coverage in English. Year 2: expand to Thailand and Indonesia, add Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese locales — infrastructure is i18n-native from day one.
