GROUP 3
What is Travelogue?
A piece of writing about travel -a talk or lecture on

travel usually accompanied by a film or slides -a
narrated motion picture about travel. And it is a story
of the experiences encountered by someone while
touring a place for the pleasure of travel.
Travelogues were used to provide the general public with a
means of observing different countries and cultures since the late
19th century. Travelogues are considered to be a form of
virtual tourism or travel documentary and were often presented as
lectures narrating accompanying films and photos. Travelogues
are defined as nonfiction films that use a place as their primary
subject. They often display the cinematic apparatus and have an
open narration.
2 Genres of Travelogue
Travel Documentary
Travel Literatute
Travel Documentary
A travel documentary is a documentary film, television
program, or online series that describes travel in general or
tourist attractions without recommending particular
package deals or tour operators. A travelogue film is an
early type of travel documentary, serving as an exploratory
ethnographic film.

Content of Travel Documentary
Travel documentary is a kind of documentary. Travel documentaries generally
tell stories about travel or introduce travel destinations. In general, there will be
a leading figure in the documentary. This figure will lead the audience to play
and introduce the audience to the local cultural landscape, food and customs.
From these documentaries, viewers can understand where these places are worth
playing and eating. Therefore, travel documentaries can also be described as
human geography documentaries. They can lead the audience to better
understand a place.
Travel Literature
The genre of travel literature encompasses outdoor
literature, guide books, nature writing, and travel memoirs.
One early travel memoirist in Western literature was Pausanias, a
Greek geographer of the 2nd century AD. In the early modern
period, James Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1786)
helped shape travel memoir as a genre.
Travel books
Travel books come in styles ranging from the documentary, to the literary, as well
as the journalistic, and from the humorous to the serious. They are often
associated with tourism and include guide books. Travel writing may be found on
web sites, in periodicals, and in books. It has been produced by a variety of writers,
including travelers, military officers, missionaries, explorers, scientists, pilgrims,
social and physical scientists, educators, and migrants.
Travel Journals
A travel journal, also called road journal, is a record made by a traveler, sometimes in
diary form, of the traveler's experiences, written during the course of the journey and
later edited for publication. This is a long-established literary format; an early example
is the writing of Pausanias (2nd century AD) who produced his Description of Greece
based on his own observations. James Boswell published his The Journal of a Tour to
the Hebrides in 1786 and Goethe published his Italian Journey, based on diaries, in
1816. Fannie Calderón de la Barca, the Scottish-born wife of the Spanish ambassador to
Mexico 1839–1842, wrote Life in Mexico, an important travel narrative of her time
there, with many observations of local life.
Travel blogs
In the 21st century, travel literature became a genre of social media in the
form of travel blogs, with travel bloggers using outlets like
personal blogs, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to convey
information about their adventures, and provide advice for navigating
particular countries, or for traveling generally.[42] Travel blogs were among
the first instances of blogging, which began in the mid 1990s. In 2018 the
most popular self hosted blogging platform is WordPress, due to its ease of
use.
STEPS FOR WRITING
TRAVELOGUES
1. Decide on the purpose of your travelogue. Whether it is for a magazine,
for friends, or for yourself—determine your writing style.
2. While traveling, take notes about what you see, places you visit, and
people you get acquainted with. Keep a diary of your impressions. If you
don’t have enough time to write, perhaps a recorder would be a smart
option for keeping a diary. Also, collect various brochures, tourism maps,
and guides. They may come in handy when you start writing a
travelogue.
3. Take as many pictures as possible. A photograph doesn’t necessarily need to
capture an historic or famous place. Sometimes, a photo of a crowded street, neon
signboard, or an old man, conveys a stronger impression of a place you’ve visited
than the images of monuments anyone can see on the Internet.
4. When you return home, take time to review your recordings. Sort them out by
date, personal importance, or based on any other criteria. Choose photographs
which best illustrate the brightest moments of your journey.
5. Create an outline of your travelogue. This must not be a detailed report yet. The
outline is necessary for you to structure your thoughts and to see if the story flows
logically and is easy to understand.
6. After you’ve completed the outline, write the full travelogue. Try to make it as
interesting as you can. Add vivid descriptions, historic and factual information, and
educate your readers on the customs and traditions of the country you’ve visited.
TOPIC SELECTION
Since a travelogue is written after your trip to another country or place, the main topic of
this type of writing is a description of your experience there. Though your travelogue can
contain may areas of focus, when writing a travelogue, you can concentrate on:
• Local customs and traditions
• Cuisine
• Depictions of places of interest, local history and culture
• Your adventures
• Prices and transportations
• Entertainment
