Some people think that to learn about other countries, they need to travel. Some say that it is not necessary to travel; we can have information through TV and internet. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In recent times, the number of people travelling abroad has increased tremendously. While some argue that it is not required to

travel to

travel, to

know about other countries, other are of the opinion that it is necessary. I completely agree with the latter side. On the

one

hand, some people believe that it is not important to actually travel to know about places. With the advancements in technology and

the availability

of the Internet and television,

can know about each and every country in the world, their

traditions

and customs, just by sitting at home.

This

is more beneficial since there is no time constraint and whenever people are free, they can just watch and know about various tourist

all over the world.

Besides

time, another advantage is the amount of money

can save by avoiding trips.

, another mode of getting knowledge is through magazines and books that describes culture and

of different locations.

On the other hand

, I personally belong to the other group who says it is mandatory to visit places if we need to know in-depth about their actual culture. Their argument is that unless we mingle with people who lives there, we won't be getting a clear picture and we may not be able to appreciate it.

Although

we have all different sophisticated methods to learn about the world, unless we feel and embrace it, we

be able to understand fully. Another aspect is the scenic beauty of the place, which no

can explain perfectly.

Also

, only when we visit a place, we can get a grip

will only show the good aspects and ignore the reality.

For instance

, Mumbai is a place in India where the biggest slum is located. Only very few people

that there are other places which are worth watching. We should not forget the fact that only a personal visit will give a chance to experience the wide variety of cuisines that a country provides. To conclude, it is always ideal to

the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities

experience

rather than just watching or reading about other countries. I believe that,

although

we have the option to get all the details at our

, there are certain things that we need to see and realise.
