 | | Travel narratives must be distinguished from travel guides, such as the annuals published by Fodor. |
 | | The genuine travel narrative can be distinguished from these counterfeits by the personal voice of the traveler/narrator and by its emphasis on the traveling itself as, ultimately, a single, if extended experience. |
