Answer
It depends on:
1. Where are you going?
2. What do you want to photograph?
A good walk around lens is 18-55 on a crop body and 24-70 on a full frame for just everyday shooting. If you're doing portraits you'll focus on something longer. If you're doing landscapes you'll focus on something wider.

What camera lens are needed for travel photography?

Answer
It depends on exactly what you want to shoot.
But I agree with the guy above me, you need a nice versatile lens. You do not want to be standing in the middle of a crowded street in a foreign country, trying to change lenses. Your subject will be gone, or you are going to drop or damage a lens.
Something like an 18-200mm lens would be great, but pack a few spare one, perhaps a nice 10-24mm and a standard 50-74mm as well.
As for what brand, either the offical lens brand for your camera (Nikon, pentax, canon etc) or tamron, tokina or sigma. Any of the major brands.
The last thing is you need a tough lens. When you are on holiday, you are most likely going to busy watching the scenery rather than looking after your camera. These days you can buy nice tough, and even weather resistant lenses. Spend a bit of extra money and get a dust and splash resistant lens made of nice tough metal/plastic.
Oh, and a lens hood and UV filter are a must, especially if you are going somewhere dusty or sandy.
hope that helps
