In the last decade, factual entertainment has dramatically changed from the merely informative and often didactic to the real and personal. Following on from this, one of the biggest shifts in travel programming has been to make travel more relatable to the viewer.
No longer is travel TV a series of pretty picture slapped together with a boring script that sounds more like a geography lecture than an invitation to explore, being read underneath.
Today travel TV is about the social experience, about how people relate to each other and how they live their lives. It’s also about the excitement of different cultures from across the planet meeting up and what can be learnt from each other.
And instead of just showing historical buildings – viewers want to know how that history has made the people of a place who they are today. What do their cultures say about them? Television is after all about people.
