It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures. We can learn as much as from books, films and internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

notion based on the following reasons. On the one hand, I admit that traveling virtually is cost-saving unlike doing it in person, rendering travels to learn cultures unnecessary.

In conclusion, the convenience of virtual travelling is non-negligible, but for the sake of irreplaceable experience, I concur that travelling in person remains a necessity.
