File Travel writing.gif thumb right 260px Generic overview of travel writing Travel writing is a genre that has, as its focus, accounts of real or imaginary places. The genre encompasses a number of styles that may range from the documentary to the evocative, from literary to journalistic, and from the humorous to the serious. Travel writing is often associated with tourism, and includes works of an ephemeral nature such as guide books and reviews, with the intent being to educate the reader about the destination, provide helpful advice for those visiting the destination, and inspire readers to travel to the destination. Effective travel writing should allow readers a vivid recollection of the area areas being described in a way that is useful and entertaining. Travel writing of various degrees of quality may be found on web sites, in magazines and in books. Travel writing has also been produced by other types of travelers, such as military officers, missionaries, explorers, scientists, pilgrims, and migrants. Travel writing which is valued as literature in its own right may be referred to as travel literature.

The most notable, recent and low redshift surveys are the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey , Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey .

Orphan date February 2009 Cultural Travel is a type of travel that emphasizes experiencing life within a foreign culture, rather than from the outside as a temporary visitor. Cultural travelers leave their home environment at home, bringing only themselves and a desire to become part of the culture they visit. Cultural travel goes beyond cultural exploration or discovery it involves a transformation in way of life. This definition was first used by Gary Langer cite journal authorlink Gary Langer title Travel to Learn journal Transitions Abroad volume 1 pages 12 15 date March 1977 publisher Transitions Abroad Publishing as a way of describing travel that requires a transition to a new level of understanding of and appreciation for a foreign culture. The term is often distorted and misused by travel agents, tour operators and international tourism organizations. Culture primarily has to do with people and less with places or things. So visiting museums, touring ancient structures, attending festivals, and eating local food does not provide the same experience as becoming a member of the culture itself.
