travel + escape is a Canadian English language category 1 digital cable specialty channel owned by CTV Television Inc. (CTVglobemedia) with programming focusing on travel.

History

Licensed as Travel TV on November 24, 2000 by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC); the channel launched on September 7, 2001 as CTV Travel. On October 30, 2006, CTV Travel was renamed as travel + escape to give the channel a new "edgier" look and feel to fit its new shift in programming towards more character-driven and experienced-based series rather than the typical travelogue shows.
