What would a travel based video game look like?

I was having a conversation about underrepresented video game genres and the idea of travel games came up. I thought it was a really neat idea but I realized that it's a hard subject to make a game out of.

What would the objective be? How could you have things like crafting and leveling/player progression? Competitive play? Cooperative or pve content?

I sometimes feel like making excel daily schedules for imaginary trips is as close as I'll get to immersive travel gaming. Or Google earth, I guess.

What do you think would make a fun game involving travel? I could see some kind of amazing race style game where you have to locate a specific building by solving location appropriate riddles and then having a mini game themed to the culture.
