▶ Your Answer :
Today It has become very usual to see people traveling all around the world. There are some people who believe that it is better to travel to foreign countries than to travel around their own. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent reasons. First, traveling abroad is way more expensive. Second, there is a chance to face language problem.
To begin with, traveling around their own country is more economical. With the rise of petrol price, traveling overseas has become very expensive. Moreover, the tickets and hotels are more expensive for travelers in many countries. Let me bring up my experience as an example. Last year, I went to New Zealand to spend my holidays. At first, I was very excited since it was my first chance to rest in a long period. However, the tickets and hotels were too expensive than I had expected. This year I went Pusan, Korea for holidays. I could relax and enjoy a lot more with less half of what I paid for my travel to New Zealand last year. If I had known this earlier, I would never have wasted a lot of money in a foreign country.
On top of that, language troubling will occur while traveling overseas. Nobody can learn a foreign language for a short period so travelers have to go through problems of hiring a guide or translator. Not only that, those who are not used to foreign customs and culture have more difficulties if they do not know a forgien language. According a recent survey conducted by the National Travel Institutes, 80% of the respondents said that they have experienced inconvenience while traveling overseas. Especially when they had a problem with food, which they were not used to, they were not able to solve it quickly because of different language. This shows that traveling around one’s own country is much better in view of language.
To sum up, it is too overpriced to travel to a foreign country. Besides, language problem is likely to happen. In this regard, I firmly believe that traveling overseas is not recommendable.
