The Travel Show is a weekly lifestyle and travel programme that celebrates global destinations, cultures, and experiences. Each episode takes viewers on a journey to fascinating places around the world, from iconic cities and stunning natural landscapes to lesser-known corners that offer a unique local flavour. The show blends breathtaking visuals with insightful reporting, delivering both inspiration and practical information for curious travellers.
Rather than focusing solely on tourist highlights, The Travel Show explores the stories behind each destination—its people, traditions, food, history and contemporary life. This approach gives audiences a richer understanding of the places featured, helping them connect with cultures and communities beyond surface-level sightseeing. The programme often highlights sustainable and responsible travel, encouraging viewers to engage with the world in thoughtful, ethical ways.
The show covers a wide range of travel experiences, from luxury escapes and adventure travel to budget-friendly itineraries and hidden gems off the beaten path. Episodes might feature expert tips on packing, accommodation options, transport insights or seasonal travel advice, making the content practical as well as aspirational. The Travel Show’s mix of features caters to both seasoned explorers and those planning their first big trip.
The Travel Show is presented by a team of seasoned BBC journalists and travel experts who bring passion, curiosity and insight to every episode. Ade Adepitan, Rajan Datar, Christa Larwood, and Carmen Roberts are among the current hosts, each contributing unique perspectives based on their travel experience and knowledge of global cultures. The presenters guide viewers through stories with warmth and curiosity, sharing practical tips, cultural context and personal reflections that bring destinations to life.
