A Travelogue Show is a non-fiction work from any medium (despite the name), about traveling to various places, usually a vacation destination. In a lot of ways, it's the nonfiction, documentary version of Walking the Earth and World Tour. The literary version of the Travelogue Show dates back at least as far as the second century and the Descriptions of Greece by Greek writer Pausanias. Muslim scholar Ibn Jubayr wrote in the 12th century about his pilgrimage from Ottoman Spain to Mecca. A milestone of medieval travel literature was The Travels of Marco Polo, about the 13th century Venetian who travelled to Russia and China, visiting places few Europeans had ever been, and eventually serving in the court of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. Writers such as Charles Dickens (American Notes) and Mark Twain (Roughing It, Innocents Abroad) wrote popular 19th century travel narratives. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Film and television proved well-suited to the Travelogue Show genre. Short travelogue films were a common product of American film studios during The Golden Age of Hollywood, frequently appearing in theaters before features. The television Travelogue Show has been popular pretty much since the medium was invented. Regardless of the format, the most basic travelogue shows will be a bare description of the locale being visited. The more involved Travelogue Shows will go into as much depth as they can about the local culture and "color" as possible, and may heavily showcase the local cuisine. They may also sometimes heavily showcase methods used to get there, possibly coming off as a thinly disguised commercial for an airline or cruise line. Or they may even simply be about the journey, not the destination, if the host is particularly fond of road trips across America, for example. The one thing all Travelogue Shows have in common is that the destination literally is the journey. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the "ethnographic" documentary, which is at least as old as the oldest documentarynote Well it was billed as a documentary, but it was almost all made up feature film, Nanook of the North. An ethnography will be focused on a particular place and the people within it. It may not have any travel within it at all, and may not have a narrator/host or point of view. A Travel Show, while quite likely to examine the culture and people of one or more places, will have some point A to point B element of travel within it, and will probably have a narrator/host from whose perspective the story is told. A sub-trope of Documentary. See also Going to See the Elephant and Road Trip Plot, for fictional narratives based around travel. The Travelogue Show is rarely seen in anime or western animation, except for parodies. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Examples: |

The Endless Summer follows two Surfer Dudes as they travel around the world, heading to the Southern Hemisphere in November in search of, well, an endless summer in which to surf. Concentrating on the beach scene, of course, with stops along the way in Malibu, Hawaii, Senegal, Ghana, South Africa (they take a gondola to Table Mountain), Australia, New Zealand, and Tahiti. | |

Adam Richman with Man v. Food and his spin-off Man v. Food Nation. Though this is less about the travel and more about the food the city's known for and the food challenges at the end of the episode. | |

The Gleaners and I is an Agnès Varda travel documentary in which she journeys around France picking up information about les glaneurs via videography, interviews, and other forms of media, making it somewhat like a magazine movie whilst also avant-garde. | |

Rick Steves' Europe is a ubiquitous PBS travelogue show. In each episode of the show, Rick Steve travels to a different region of Europe, visits the main sites, and samples the local food. The show is tailored towards inspiring viewers for their own vacations, and is almost a travel guide (like a Lonely Planet or Fodor's) in television form. | |

An Idiot Abroad records the travels of Karl Pilkington, formerly known as the addle-minded butt of jokes by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The hook for this one is that Pilkington is "the stereotypical Little Englander" who hates going anywhere else and hardly ever enjoys the adventures that Gervais and Merchant arrange for him. Gervais and Merchant help this by making them as unpleasant as possible (Pilkington has stayed in some seriously run-down hotels). | |

Perhaps the most memorable is Alton Brown's Feasting on Asphalt series, a slickly-produced road trip with tons of footage of Alton Brown cooking and eating stuff while giving history lessons along the way. The third installment Feasting on Waves, has Alton island-hopping by boat in the Caribbean Islands. | |

Facing Your Danger is a 1946 film following a river-rafting expedition down the dangerous rapids of the Colorado River in Arizona. It's a rare visual record of what the Colorado looked like before the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam destroyed all those rapids. | |

Noah Caldwell-Gervais, who runs a video game Analysis Channel, began experimenting with the travelogue format in 2017, after Noah's success at crowdfunding allowed him to give up his daily job and start touring the continental US (or, as he calls it, "playtesting adventure"). He was particularly inspired by William Least Heat-Moon's books, and draws intentional parallels between Least Heat-Moon's concept of quoz (basically, any unexpected interesting things one discovers off the beaten path while traveling) and the way Wide Open Sandbox games like The Elder Scrolls structure their content. In "The Desert Bus", he brings up many quoz from his own travels that were functionally identical to encounters in Skyrim and concludes that the infamous joke game Desert Bus had been fundamentally wrong in its conception of Real Life travel as a boring chore and that realistic travel is much more akin to a densely-packed open world game instead. | |
