What is Travel Literature?

"Travel literature is travel writing considered to have value as literature. Travel literature typically records the people, events, sights and feelings of an author who is touring a foreign place for the pleasure of travel...

...To be called literature the work must have a coherent narrative, or insights and value, beyond a mere logging of dates and events... Literature that recounts adventure, exploration and conquest is often grouped under travel literature, but it also has its own genre outdoor literature; these genres will often overlap with no definite boundaries."
