This is where you'll find music that would be suitable on the Travel Channel and, to some extent, on Discovery Channel and National Geographic. This music will have a sense of discovery and exploration and often with World / Ethnic influences. That's not to say that all the music here will be tribal or have a strong ethnic feel. There's also some music here that just has a slight Latin or Mediterranean feel, making it suitable for enjoying while chilling out on the beach or just enjoying a relaxing holiday at a fine hotel. Mostly, though, this music will convey the moods of Africa, Eastern / Middle East, Far East, South American or other exotic destinations.
