Instructions 1. o 1 Write a travelogue keeping in mind that your travelogue doesn't have to stress the attractiveness of the place you're writing about. And not all travelogue pieces need to assume or state that the reader wants or needs to follow in the writer's footsteps. Write about a journey in story format: present a situation, complicate a situation and then provide climax along with resolution. o 2 Weave dialogue and suspense into your travel descriptions when you write a travelogue. Lessons about life or at least some kind of eventful or historic theme may serve as the framework of your travelogue. Day-by-day recordings of nothing but where you went, what you saw and what you ate may make for a drab, dull touring log. o 3 Be specific as much as possible when you write a travelogue. Give your readers an idea of what the transportation costs may be. Suggest the best mode of travel for this particular journey, whether it be by car, bus, plane or train or a combination of ways. Find out as much information as possible about local hotels, motels or other accommodations. Check around to see what forms of entertainment are recommended. If major theme parks are there, tell your readers what kind of ticket prices to expect. o 4 Tell your readers what type of weather situation to expect in whatever season they may travel there in when you write a travelogue. Some destinations may have major season events you must tell your readers about, such as a local Christmas
