Travel photography is a subcategory of photography that is characterized by documenting the landscapes, inhabitants, cultures, customs and history of a specific region of the world.
From the Photographic Society of America (PSA):
What is a Photo Travel Image?
It's an image that expresses the feeling of a time and place, portrays a land, its people, or a culture in its natural state, and has no geographical limitations.
Travel photography can be commercial in nature, done by professional photographers. The most well-known example is the pictures seen in the National Geographic magazine.
There is also amateur travel photography, represented by the kind of pictures taken by most tourists.
