A genre of literature that encompasses narratives and personal accounts of journeys, adventures, and experiences in various geographical locations, often penned by travelers or authors who have explored different cultures, societies, and landscapes. These accounts, often infused with personal insights and cultural commentaries, serve not only as guidebooks but also offer readers an immersive experience into the sights, sounds, and emotions of the author's travels. This category also includes books that provide practical information about travel, such as guides and handbooks.
