There might be some people who believe that traveling abroad is better rather than own country because they can get some valuable lessons, such as how to respect and appreciate other cultures. However, in my opinion, people can gain more if they travel their own country for the two subsequent reasons. It helps people save their money and time. First of all, it is much cost-efficient to go to a trip in their own country. This is because traveling other countries needs extraordinary fees of various things, such as air plane tickets. People can save those budget through having a journey in their country, because they can enjoy their journey by car and pack some foods, which prevents a lot of money from exhausted in a restaurant. According to research conducted by HanaTour, a tour company in Korea, the cost of traveling abroad is much higher compared to domestic travel. This is because the price of airplane tickets is increasing and people have a tendency to buy some souvenirs returning to homeland. They estimated that, now, the expense of traveling abroad is more than double of inland and expected the gap between two will be increased about 20 percent 10 years later. This clearly shows that going trip homeland is much cost efficient for people. On top of that, people can save their time by traveling their own country. These days, people do not have enough time for rest due to the competitiveness of today's society, which gives people a burden for traveling several days or weeks. However, traveling inland does not waste much time, so enables people to come back to their place soon. For example, during the last summer vacation, I went to Europe for journey. Because it took 15 hours just getting there and it was a special event for me to go there, I should spend about a month for the trip. This made me miss a famous art history class in my university. I usually wanted to take the class because the professor of the class was very well-known for the class. But after the class, he retired and I could not have a chance for taking the class later. If I traveled my country, I would have gone in a weekend and taken the class.
In conclusion, people can save their money and time by travel their own country. In this regard, I strongly believe that people going a inland trip can gain more than people who are not. |
