International travel allows the experience of diverse cultures but also leads to development of negative stereotypes and other negative experiences.
State the main reasons for this and how people can have increased understanding of the country they visit?
It is generally belief that travelling abroad gives us a wide range of experiences and various cultures. While some people argue that it has several negative impacts on tourists especially for negative stereotypes and experiences. I will explain major cuses and suggest the possible solution.
First, Travelling abroad is mainly connected to the major travel agenciesq. They tend to include ordinary tour plan with stereo typed tour guide. Most of tours could be processed by tour schedules. In accordance with boring travel, most tourists are not only able to directly meet locals but also taste traditional cuisines. Therefore, these factors have fully hindered the experience of various cultures.
Second, to resolve this problem, it is essential to make a personal trip without tour guide, To be specific, people should gather suitable information such as puchasing local map, guide books via the Internet. Although some people feel unsafe, personal trip would give us more entertainment then rely on travel agencies. For exampel, a friend of mine travelled to Canada with no travel agencies. He had various local dishes and learnt different type of local languages. It had not been for his individual tour to Canada, He would have had not such a diverse expeperience.
In conclusion, although some people believe that traveling abroad with travel agencies seem to be secure, this will certainly give rise to the boredom and stereotype of travel. Thus, I strongly believe that individual tour with no agencies is the key to resolve it.
