Launched in 1994, London based Travel Channel broadcasts in 121 countries and 21 languages across Asia Pac, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

France Telecom subsidiary GlobeCast and London based Travel Channel International have launched Travel Channel HD via the MEASAT-3 platform to reach homes across the Asia Pacific region. Travel Channel HD is an expansion of the current SD channel, which is also delivered via GlobeCast's MEASAT-3 satellite capacity.

Travel Channel now has significant HDTV broadcast capabilities in the Asian region, reaching key HD Pay-TV platforms there, alongside GlobeCast's other clients on MEASAT-3, such as Fox Crime, FX, Fashion One HD, National Geographic Channel HD, History Channel HD, National Geographic Wild HD, AXN HD (Korea and Asia) and TV5 Monde.

Travel Channel is a leading international travel broadcaster, providing advice in selecting and planning real holidays and at the same time allowing viewers to watch footage from around the world, operating almost as a geographic service.
