Is the tamron 17 70mm f 2 8 di iii a vc rxd good for travel?

Yes, it's a good travel zoom, as long as you shoot APS-C. On Sony E, Fujifilm X or Nikon Z it covers roughly 26-105mm full-frame equivalent, which handles most travel pictures from wide streets to short telephoto. It's also stabilised, which helps in dim churches and markets. The f/2.8 aperture is useful indoors, though the lens is bigger and heavier than a kit zoom, so weigh it with your camera before you commit.

Good pairings from its fit list for a light travel setup include the Sony a6700, the Fujifilm X-T50 and the Nikon Z50 II. Full-frame bodies work with it in crop mode, but you lose resolution, so I'd pick an APS-C body for this.

For the rest of the kit, see Travel, which suggests adding one small fast prime for evenings.
