Pilot Productions produces the television series Globe Trekker, which focuses on adventure travel. 1994 marked the debut of the British series inspired by the Lonely Planet travel guides. Globe Trekker is broadcast in more than 40 nations on six continents. Each episode involves a presenter, referred to as a traveller, who goes with a camera team to a country (typically a rather exotic area) and explores the sights, sounds, and culture that the country has to offer. Special episodes include comprehensive city, beach, dive, shopping, historical, and festival tours. In order to provide a more authentic look at local culture, the show frequently ventures outside major tourist spots. Typically, presenters participate in various parts of regional culture, such as attending a traditional wedding or traveling to a mining community. In addition to addressing the spectator directly as tourists-turned-tour-guides, they are seen interacting with locals and exploring intriguing spots in unscripted sequences. Globe Trekker also occasionally features brief interviews with backpackers who offer suggestions for independent travel in a specific country.
