What is Travelogue?
A travelogue is a
personal diary of
a person's
journey to
another place.
Here, we wrote
our experiences
that we encounter
when travelling or
visiting a place.
It is both a
narrative story
describing
personal experiences and a collection of factual
details that other travellers would find useful. You
can’t just narrate your experiences but should
include facts
about what is
within that
place.
It incorporates
practical advice,
vivid descriptions, actionable information, and
genuine emotion. You can include images or videos
which can you readers believe that you really
experience travelling on that place. Note this. Make
sure that the information you will include is
specific so that the readers will understand it easily.
A good travelogue is gripping like a story, practical
like a guidebook, and visually and emotionally
alluring like a magazine article.
Tips for Travel Writers
Travelogues are unique and can be written in a
variety formats depending on the type of
information you wish to convey to your audience.
Before we proceed to the tips for travel writers,
what are the tips you always do or prioritize when
you are travelling or visiting a place? Student will answer.
“That was a nice and good tip to do when
travelling”.
“Who wants to read the first tip?”
The teacher will call a name.
Student will read the first tip.
1. Entertain your Audience
Writing about travel is not at all similar academic
writing. Your
main objective is
to make readers
enthusiastic about
the location, so
your writing needs
to be both creative
and informational.
The teacher will call a name.
Student will read the second tip.
2. Write about your Personal Experiences
Don't indulge in travel writing if you have not yet
visited a location or
just know about if
from friends, family,
or the internet. If you
don't write your
personal
experiences, your travel writing will be boring and
unhelpful.
The teacher will call a name.
3. Provide Helpful Information Student will read the third tip.
Provide helpful information about transportation,
the cost of activities,
and local tipping and
service customs so
that your readers visit
your article again and
again.
The teacher will call a name. Student will read the fourth tip.
4. Use the First Person
Your travelogue is about your experiences,
thoughts and feelings. Third person narration can
sometimes work, but
your readers want to
know your story.
Don't focus too much
on yourself but do
focus on your
experiences.
The teacher will call a name.
Student will read the fifth tip.
5. Use Simple and Straightforward
Language
The best language to use when writing about travel
is simple, straightforward, and understandable.
Readers should be able
to follow along with
your journey without
picking up a dictionary
every time you get
carried away.
The teacher will call a name. Student will read the sixth tip.
6. Make sure your Narration is Well-
Structured
Creative writing has no hard-and-fast
limitations, but a
travelogue is not a
novel or a long poem.
It is a mixture of
practical knowledge
with your feelings,
beliefs, and
experiences. It includes everything your readers
need to know to have a successful visit.
