▶ Your Answer :As the world is globalized and open to each
other, the number of people travel abroad has increased dramatically. Also,
when people’s lives are easier and more comfortable, the want to enjoy their
lives by traveling around the world. The sightseeing industry enhanced and
companies doing tour guide earn money. Many people assume that traveling
overseas with tour guide is better than traveling alone. However, I prefer to
travel by myself because I am free to decide the schedule of travel. Moreover, it
costs less than using tour guide companies.
First of all, people can do whatever
they want, eat and sleep during the trip. If they like a certain place and stay
longer, they just need to expand the reservation of the hotel and do not have
to hesitantly follow tour guide. For instance, I traveled Europe with my family
for 2 months. We planned to go to every famous cities like Paris, London, and
Berlin, and suddenly, we changed our schedule. On third week, we were in Paris
and my mother fell in love with its buildings. The view on Eifel Tower was so
beautiful that our family remembered it forever and dreamed the view sometimes.
After we determined to stay there for four more days, we went to see the tower
every night since its night view was way more amazing than daylight view.
Unless we travel by ourselves, we were not capable of living there In addition, people can save money as much
as possible when traveling alone. They can search motels as much as possible
and book a cheap guesthouse. People can find whatever information they need
easily since internet connects all sort of things. Furthermore, they do not
have to waste money by buying useless products from shopping mall and paying
tips to tour guide. Usually, tour guide take people to several stores, which
sell products abnormally expensively. Since they do not know the usual price in
a different countries, they just believe in clerks. Then travelers listen to
owners of stores’ explanation carefully and buy goods more than they need. Besides,
people following tour companies’ schedule have to pay a lot of money to a tour
guide. In this sense, people, who journey alone, can avoid going to stores too
much and spend much money in shops.
Some
argue that using traveling company is convenient and safer than going alone.
They say that it saves time to research about the restaurant, hotel, and
transportation. On the other hand, I strongly believe that traveling by ourselves
can let us determine whatever we want and prevent us from wasting money. For
those reasons, trip alone is much more worthy than with tour guide.
