cultures and nature.

Tourists

,

for

example

, can learn about the weather and atmosphere of the Sahara Desert or the Antarctic.

Moreover

, visiting challenging

places

with obstacles teaches them to overcome their real-life challenges

for

example

, they will never lose their patience in their hard times. Most importantly, discovering new

places

and even many past civilizations might be regarded as a great human victory. Several

tourists

around the world ,

for instance

, have contributed to discovering the numerous past civilizations which still acknowledge the benefits of the curious nature of human life.

In contrast

, visiting risky

places

with harsh weather conditions and other challenges is not always welcoming because of the possibility of death or permanent disability.

Visitors

who are physically fit and mentally strong only can take those risks and bring catastrophe in their lives.

For

example

, every year in the Sahara a significant proportion of

tourists

lose their lives because of heat stroke or other boundaries.

, visiting

places

full of risks and obstacles drag the

visitors

from their daily normal lives and when they come back it requires time and effort to cope with their past lifestyle.

, most of the

tourists

I interviewed have expressed their difficulties in coping with normal life after coming back from the tour.

To conclude

, visiting

places

with risks and obstacles is dangerous and not always fruitful because of several drawbacks.

However

, there is no doubt that humans are by nature explorers and they will continue their journey of discovering by breaking all the barriers.
