TRAVEL NARRATIVES.

This time span is marked by a surge in popularity among people all over the world, with a particular emphasis on the concept of travel narratives. This is inspired mostly by a sense of adventure, but also by individuals looking for places to visit and enjoy their time. Exciting activities can be seen all over the globe. They occur in a variety of distinct fields, and the only way to decide which of them is the most interesting and will be the safest to partake in is to gather intelligence about them. This gives rise to the concept of travel narratives, which serve as a useful guide for information on the places visited. The travel stories also have the description of the most appropriate time and period of the year that the destination is exciting. This makes them very resourceful and adequate for use in this case.

Effects of the fictional approach

The idea of using fictional areas with important habitats, however, results in the loss of authenticity and truth in the travel destination. However, this can also be perceived as a motivational approach in the interested individuals in the tourism industry to try and visit the similar region in the world. However, the concept of fictitious nature in the description in the travel narratives affects the expectations of the interested parties. This results into originality which Behn described as "Where there is no novelty, there can be no curiosity." Therefore, the idea of using fictitious destination in the narrowed results in a dual way on the effects on the interested parties. This can lead to a misguide in the interested parties ending disappointed but can also lead to a sense of adventure where the interested parties would keep seeking regions where they would experience a similar description as found in the books. Fictitious locales create a sense of curiosity which is described as very essential by Samuel Johnson "Curiosity is, in great and generous minds, the first passion and the last."

Effects of the new locales approach

The authors using new locales enable the interested parties to discover new travel regions that would be interesting in their cases and create awareness of the new unvisited areas that would encourage and motivate the parties in excitement. The approach of using new parts also opens the world to the people who are a practical approach to educating the people in new areas that would suit their visits. On the idea of new locales, Jonathan Swift describes them as "I cannot but conclude that the Bulk of your Natives, to be the most pernicious Race of little odious Vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the Surface of the Earth."

Using similar locales to the audience would kill the adventure sense in the narratives and would also make the stories not exciting to be used or the travel guide or discovery of new regions. Having areas that are known to the audience would result in the public not receiving any new information on the regions to visit and new adventures. This is the reason the narratives are based on new locales and fictitious regions that would attract attention to the audience. Some of these areas are also based on real locations but kept invented to create a sense of adventure that would result in the public seeking the areas. This creates the actual meaning of the idea of travel into unknown regions or areas where the information available is not as descriptive as the visitation itself. Using known parts to the audience would also result in limited interests in the areas or location on the public since they already know what to expect from the regions, which would eliminate the sense of travel sought after by the public.
