According to me, you need to have many travel experiences to get selected as a travel journalist. When we talk about scope, it's not a plain yes or no. It's hard to make a career as a travel journalist. But if you are open to experiences and hard work then you will definitely do well.
Job profiles:
Many travel writers work for themselves as freelancers and work contract by contract, story by story. This means you may not have a steady income from travel writing and it can be difficult to make a high income when you are commissioned to write for a publication.
Currently, rates for a 500-word article can range from $10 to $1,000. Often, seasoned writers with years of experience writing for big print publications will earn the higher end of the spectrum for one article. Many travel writers do not earn more than $25 - $300 an article. If you are able to land a big feature or a cover story, you will be paid more. However, it can be difficult to land the more lucrative stories and you will often have to write many articles on a regular basis to support yourself financially in this career.
The job role of a travel journalist is very interesting, and the work space is not limited to a cubicle with a desktop. You can actually travel lots of place, be a part of various other cultures and traditions, and give immense pleasure to your taste buds by the cuisine of several lands. To be a successful journalist, two things are absolutely essential, 1.Your knowledge in English 2.Your skill of communication. Without these two skills, it will be very difficult to be a travel journalist.
Have you watched the movie Yeh jawani hai diwani, bolly blockbuster, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Kabir? In this movie Kabir was a travel journalist, touring various places of the world. You can bag lucrative job offers from reputed channels like National Geographic.
Do not confuse between a Travel writer, and Travel Journalist. A travel writer will just write about various lands and cultures. But a Journalist will visit the places, talk to the local people, get a first hand knowledge of the culture of that place, taste various cuisines, will also tall about the unique experience that he had in that new land. So communicative skills are essential. One thing you can do, you can learn some foreign languages, like if you are travelling in Europe then you must know French, and if in America then Spanish. It is always fun to learn new languages and cultures.
All the best!
