Travel writing is a style of writing that describes a place, usually using humorous and opinionated views, personal to the writer, or serious and greatly descriptive prose.
Travel writing is often associated with tourism, and includes works of an ephemeral nature such as guide books. Travel writing has also been produced by other types of travelers, such as military officers, missionaries, explorers, scientists, pilgrims, and immigrants.
Travel writing which is valued as literature may be referred to as travel literature.
Travel writing is often used to show an individual interpretation and perspective on a place. Spoken word[dubious ] is used throughout travel writing due to its more natural, welcoming and explanatory manner.[dubious ]
Travel writing is also explored in the television show, Word Travels, following South African travel writer Robin Esrock and Canadian travel writer Julia Dimon.[1] The show is broadcast on OLN in Canada, and National Geographic Adventure Worldwide.
