Specific zoom transition effect - what's it called?

I'm trying to find a tutorial or method for how to do the following effectively:

Location A transition/zoom to Location B. Approx 50 meter difference in camera locations.

Location B can be seen in the background of the footage of Location A. I want the cut to be as seemless as possible, so it seems like its essentially zoomed in to the footage from Location A, then it cuts to footage from Location B.

Hope that makes sense!

Yeah, hard to say what you would need without even a storyboard or reference photo of the location. Of course this can involve anything from just filming the actor in front of a green screen all the time and placing him/ her in a virtual set just as it could involve stitching multiple clips and images together with elaborate camera movments on rails and moco cranes thrown in as well.

Impossible to know without actually seeing your shots. Clearly generic advice about possibly some masking and tracking being involved won't help you much. so by all means provide reference frames/ screenshots.

I don't actually have the shots yet, am currently in the planning stage of the video and am trying to work out how I'll be able to do the effect. I have some vague ideas about how to do it, but was hoping someone might have an example of it, or even better a tutorial. I've been searching round but can't find what I'm looking for, but I've 100% seen it done in a movie or show before. Usually done with a person, far off in the distance, with the transition hiding the cut. I just have no idea how to get it looking near-seemless. Thanks for the reply. Perhaps they even dolly the camera the entire distance between the 2 shot locations, then take out frames from that to use.
