Shift of the semantic centre of the genre release from the author to the characters and then to the viewer,that started from 1970s, has been determined. Within the framework of the programme «Wind of wanderings», the formation of a stable audience of travel issues which is the young Belarusian scientific and technical intelligentsia is shown.
