Many people are travelling to other countries. Why? Is it a positive or negative development?

These days there are more and more people travelling and visiting other nations. This can be due to several factors, and I personally believe that it is a positive development. To begin with, there are two contributing factors behind people’s motivation to travel. First, many people want to learn more about unfamiliar cultures and travelling allows them to be exposed to(1) local people and observe cultural differences in other countries. This gives them a chance to make a comparison of cultural traits in different nations, which helps them enrich their knowledge and have a more profound understanding of the world. Second, some people decide to travel abroad so that they can visit their relatives or family members who live overseas. Video calls and photos only help to see each other’s faces, and they,therefore desire to travel abroad so as to meet their loved ones in the flesh.(2)
