In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficient, the Most Merciful.
Travelogue, like any other piece of writing, is an art. A good
travelogue is a good piece of writing which is enjoyed by the readers as
well as offers valuable guidance.
#1 : Define the Objective:
You need to spend a good amount of quality time in writing a good
article. As a first step, define the objective of your blog. Do you want
to educate the readers, just narrate your experience or present your
research – the objective needs to be very clear and the whole writing
needs to follow that objective.
#2: Make it Special:
Nobody is interested in reading the well known facts about any place.
You can make your travelogue worth reading by including some special
things like unknown facts about the place, some different spellings or
pronunciation of names. Include some exclusive research about the place.
Give some information about cultural background or history. If you have
got a chance to visit some nice restaurant and try a special dish, do
mention about it – what you liked, what you did not like. And of course
include the pictures of all such experiences. People love reading
personalized experiences.
#3: Glimpse of Region:
If you can, include interviews of the local people, include their
pictures. That will add some special flavor to your blog travelogue.
#4: Include Pictures:
A picture is worth thousand words and true to this saying, a good
travelogue is absolutely incomplete without the pictures of the travel
destination. There is no way the readers will get the feel of the place
unless you include pictures. If possible, include video clips.
#5: Give it a tone and story:
Don’t write your travelogue like a research paper. Make it
personalized. Add a story to it. Add some tone to it. Don’t start with
the basic facts. Start with something which will interest the reader.
Give your personal recommendations, do’s and don’ts. That will add YOUR
flavor to it.
