I read a travel writing essay once that argued basically that there is very little true original travel left in the world in a post National Geographic era. That everything accessible to visit has been seen before by someone.

This was the way the author defined travel (vs tourism) in the context of travel literature. Perhaps a little different than colloquial usage.
