Travel photography features a single goal, to cause the viewer to wish they were there. Oftentimes,
photos convey a story although sometimes they are just nice pictures. Although at all times, well done travel photographs assist in converting tourists into travelers who explore the people, environment, and cultures right from their own home.
Travel photography therefore becomes a subclass of photography getting people involved in the documentation of a region's history, customs, landscape, people, and cultures The
Photographic Society of America (PSA) characterizes a travel image as a photo that conveys the sentiment of a moment in time and location, depicts a region, the people, or a civilization in its natural environment, and contains no geographical restraints.
Travel photography may be created by both professionals and amateurs alike. Excellent illustrations of travel photography by professionals can be seen on the
pages of National Geographic. Travel photography by amateurs is often collectively shared online by photo sharing websites such as Flickr and niche travel photo websites.
