Travel writing at the outset records the experience of an author touring a place for the pleasure of travel. Travelogues generally exhibit a coherent narrative coupled with aesthetics beyond the logging of dates or events as found in travel journals which in fact can be ascribed as Literary Travel Writings or Travelogues in popular parlance. Travel writing has flourished through the ages, and early travel accounts by explorers and travelers continue to be valued as a significant source of information about history of cultures and places. Contemporary travel narratives have a long and established history of literary conventions to draw upon their focus on the writer's experience an a personal level and point of view. Stephen Kohl, a well-known critic on Travel Writing, draws a parallel between aspects of travel writing and autobiography by opining that the main concept in both forms is the fashion in which the distinctive personal nature gets captured vividly. Critical reaction to travel narrative has a mixed history with scholars like Paul Fussell observing Travel Narratives as a 'Haven for second-rate literary talent'. Yet their popularity continues unabated, with travel writers having achieved not only remarkable commercial success but also made on impact on literature.
