I love it. I get to see places that I'll probably never get to visit.

Travel Tips

We love the Travel Channel. I have done a lot of work for several of the shows and I can say that it is the best! If it opens your mind to the possibilities of travel, then it is successful.

When I taught Travel and Tourism, The Travel Channel was homework!

Great way to explore the world from the comfort of your armchair.

I am glad to hear that you love it too! Keep on watching!!! Don't say never because you just might get there someday.

Oh and to the guy that is upset about the Lady Luck and your contention of alledged payoffs to be named The Luckiest Casino, most of the hotels, airlines, cruise lines and destinations pay a "promotional fee" that assists in the cost of the production. That can be in the form of free transportation or an actual cash payment. Sometimes sponsorship is hard to come by and it is the name of the game. Please do not judge the entire Travel channel by that particular situation. Besides, I use to win at the Lady Luck a lot!

Keep on watching!!! It's a big wonderful world out there and the Travel Channel makes it just a little smaller! Source(s): 34 years in the Travel Business and many TV Production Companies

I like it too, it helps me in planning my next vacation:)
Yes, but it's not an unbiased source.

For example, when they named "Lady Luck Casino" in Las Vegas as "The luckiest casino," they did so because the Lady Luck Casino paid the producers of the show to portray it as such. (It's so "lucky" that it's now closed and being converted into condos).

I do enjoy the travel channel, but it's good to remember that you're getting biased information. Of course, you get biased info from nearly all media.
i have watched and for the same reason as you :)
My favorite is Anthony Bourdain!! The guy is crazy! I love his books, too!
I do, I do ...
Often times, I do it for reasons you mentioned above, but also for future travel destinations. I recently caught a special on Belize and it never occured to me to visit there, however after seeing what I did, it put the thought there.
But do love living vicariously through the tv as well! :)
