Write an essay about the benefits and drawbacks of visiting exotic locations for a vacation
Tourists are now preferring to visit areas which are unhabitable
such
as the Antarctic or the Sahara desert. In Linking Words
this
essay, I will explore the benefits and drawbacks of roaming these destinations
Exploring remote destinations will lead to an experience unlike any other. Linking Words
This
is because only a handful of people have set foot on these landscapes, let alone enjoyed their vacation in these unforgiving terrains. Linking Words
For example
, one can visit the vast plains of the Sahara desert where no creature has ever been which means they can Linking Words
then
boast to their family and friends about walking on the earth where no one has ever gone before. Linking Words
Furthermore
, enduring these harsh conditions will improve their character. Linking Words
This
is because when tourists are faced with difficulties, they are able to grow as individuals. Linking Words
This
is proven by a recent study published by the University of Oxford, where individuals who overcome adversity are able to improve hormonal balance as cortisol, the stress hormone, is regulated effectively. Linking Words
This
means when they are forced to face difficult situations, these individuals are able to perform better under pressure, Linking Words
hence
going through a challenging journey will result in growth.
But Linking Words
on the other hand
, wondering remote locations will prevent an easy rescue by emergency services. Linking Words
This
is Linking Words
due to
the fact that ambulances will be unable to reach the explorers in time if an accident has occurred that resulted in life-threatening injuries. Linking Words
This
is proven by the statistical review done by the British National Association of Paramedics, where they revealed that the average response time in a first-world country, like the UK, was twenty minutes. Linking Words
This
illustrates that even in the most developed nations, it is very difficult to reach patients in time and if voyagers get lost, it would be nearly impossible to save them in Linking Words
such
circumstances. There is Linking Words
also
the cost of the whole vacation which would be significantly more than a normal holiday as other arrangements would be needed to comfortably carry out Linking Words
this
adventure. Linking Words
For instance
, temperatures in the Antarctic reach negative thirty degrees, which means tourists would need special equipment to keep warm Linking Words
as a result
the price of the vacation would increase drastically.
In conclusion, visiting exotic locations has both benefits Linking Words
such
as enjoying a unique experience and improving one's character; Linking Words
however
, if adventures require emergency services Linking Words
then
it would be nearly impossible to conduct a rescue operation and the price of Linking Words
such
an experience would Linking Words
also
be significantly higher than a regular holiday.Linking Words
