Respect Cultures Throughout Travel
A Travel starts with a planning. A positive attitude in the planning makes the travel beautiful. A good traveler continues exploring at various levels. Some travels become adventureous and teach a lot simultaneously.
Hectic travels should be avoided.
In general, Travels are for Four Purposes:
(1) Leisure, (2) Business, (3) Training, and (4) VFR (Visit to Friends and Relatives)
An excellent traveler studies the significance of the place, its social, cultural, and environmental aspects etc. The study makes the visitor knowledge-wise competent to understand the things at the place when he reaches there. Seeing the things and meeting with people help in budding opportunities for cultural, educational, and economical growth.
In fact, all the travels focus on rest, innovation, and self-care. They offer a break from the stress of day-to-day life. As a tourist, one should focus on natural atmosphere. One should not prove damaging to the local environment.
Every traveler must keep a Note Book and a Camera to write and record the journeying of the places’ history, traditions, and cultural practices of the residing community.
One should have at least one destination in rural area during the tour. Rural area shows the real picture of the Life of the people. Air is fresh there and living is natural. Rural people always prefer normal way of living and don’t believe in show-off.
Travels teach responsibilities. They build up curiosity to learn. They educate manners and management. They increase creativity and constructive approach in the thinking.
If someone can’t afford a long and costly travel, short and low cost travels should be opted. Cost doesn’t affect wisdom. The end aim of the travel should be learning and not enjoyment. Each travel should be for a new destination.
During travels, one must engage different types of people through talking and learning from them. If a chance is there to participate in any cultural or religious events, one must join it. Many things are learnt through it.
In corporate travels, consciousness should be on job or work related issues like developing contacts for betterment and not on sheer outdoor pleasure.
When on training travels, one should not forget the schedule. Remembering the correct schedule is counted as a good skill. In such travels one should not be governed by others’ habits or interests.
Now-a-days, VFR (Visiting to Friends and Relatives) is becoming a fashion. It helps in being bonded strongly. VFR keeps health-wise sound.
Travel benefits in many ways. Its benefits are instant. Excitement is the first benefit. It brings Calmness to the tense mind by reducing the stress.
Travelers should share frequently the tales of the places where they have been. They gain true insight when they see the beauty of the place through their own eyes. They discover that it’s a narrow-mindedness to make assumptions about people, just because they eat different food and live in a different culture. The traveler’s life is wonderfully adorned with the unforgettable memories.
