Announced by Google on May 1, 2026, the feature makes new articles from your selected sites more likely to appear in \"Top News\" for related searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To set it up, search Google for a news-related keyword, then select the star-shaped icon that appears next to \"Top News.\" From there, search for a site name, check the box, and reload the results. If you save your settings while logged into a Google account, they will carry over to other browsers using the same account.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, articles from registered sites will not appear every time. The system works by increasing how often articles from those sites appear in Top News when a new, relevant article exists for your search. You can register multiple sources and add or remove them at any time.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to keep up with Vietnam travel and local news on an ongoing basis, you can register a \"Vietnam travel specialist site\" from the following page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/\">Register with Preferred Sources<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details on the feature, see the<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/intl\/ja-jp\/products\/explore-get-answers\/search-preferred-sources\/\">Google Japan official announcement<\/a>and<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/websearch\/answer\/16379181?hl=ja\">Google Search Help<\/a>you can check here.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the update date<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the update date in the body of the article, not just the search result excerpt. If you are unsure whether figures or proper nouns are still current, go to the primary source from the company, organizer, or government authority. If no official page can be found, treat that fact itself as a factor in your judgment, and do not make bookings or long trips based on old articles alone.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compare on equal terms<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Align not just the price but also the date of use, number of people, volume or content, taxes and service charges, cancellation conditions, and travel time before comparing. Convert to yen at the rate on the day, and for evaluative terms such as \"cheapest,\" \"popular,\" or \"high quality,\" check whether the basis and the period covered are stated.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have One Backup Plan Ready<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closures, sell-outs, rain, and traffic delays can all happen while traveling. Deciding in advance on a nearby alternative, a different time slot, or an indoor option helps you avoid unnecessary travel or costly snap decisions on the ground. Also share information about your companions' stamina, dietary restrictions, and any concerns about steps or restroom access before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Order in Which to Confirm Things On the Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First confirm the name and address, then operating hours and whether the event or venue is running, and finally the price and conditions of use. If there is a venue with the same name or outdated map information, cross-check the phone number, official account, and exterior of the building. If the information on the ground differs from the article, give priority to the official notices posted on the day and the explanations given by staff.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety-Related Information<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not rely solely on personal blogs for decisions involving weather, transport, food hygiene, health, or security. Check the latest guidance from public authorities and operators, and make sure you have insurance and emergency contact details in place. If questions remain unresolved, choosing not to go ahead with a plan is also a valid option.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google\u691c\u7d22\u3067\u3001\u3088\u304f\u8aad\u3080\u30e1\u30c7\u30a3\u30a2\u3084\u30a6\u30a7\u30d6\u30b5\u30a4\u30c8\u3092\u81ea\u5206\u3067\u9078\u3079\u308b\u300cPreferred Sources\uff08\u512a\u5148\u3059\u308b [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"swell_btn_cv_data":"","ssp_meta_description":"\u30b0\u30fc\u30b0\u30eb\u306f\u3001\u691c\u7d22\u753b\u9762\u306e\u300c\u30c8\u30c3\u30d7\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b9\u300d\u306b\u512a\u5148\u7684\u306b\u8868\u793a\u3055\u305b\u305f\u3044\u30e1\u30c7\u30a3\u30a2\u3084\u30b5\u30a4\u30c8\u3092\u5229\u7528\u8005\u81ea\u8eab\u304c\u9078\u3079\u308b\u65b0\u6a5f\u80fd\u300c\u30d7\u30ea\u30d5\u30a1\u30fc\u30c9\u30fb\u30bd\u30fc\u30b9\u300d\u3092\u3001\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3067\u3082\u4f7f\u3048\u308b\u3088\u3046\u306b\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u901a\u5e38\u3001\u30c8\u30c3\u30d7\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b9\u306e\u691c\u7d22\u7d50\u679c\u306f\u30b0\u30fc\u30b0\u30eb\u72ec\u81ea\u306e\u30a2\u30eb\u30b4\u30ea\u30ba\u30e0\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u6c7a\u307e\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002","ssp_meta_keyword":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"purpose":[],"keyword":[],"location":[],"class_list":["post-2953","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2953"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7548,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2953\/revisions\/7548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2953"},{"taxonomy":"purpose","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/purpose?post=2953"},{"taxonomy":"keyword","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keyword?post=2953"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=2953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
