WHY WE ARE SO EXCITED THAT IT’S NATIONAL TOURISM DAY
People have access to a wider range of experiences thanks to tourism.
It doesn’t matter if you’re travelling for business, on a one-week family vacation, or gave up everything to pursue a nomadic life, travel can make you a happier person by helping you build self-confidence through new experiences, breaking down barriers, and allowing you to meet people from all over the world. Travel is good for lots of things.
Travel and tourism help break down barriers caused by language.
It is recommended that people who travel to other countries pick up a few new phrases and words in the local language of each country they visit. Learning to communicate in a language other than one’s native tongue might provide individuals with a fresh perspective on life.
A shock to the system
The effects of transitioning from one culture to another that has not previously experienced are referred to as “culture shock.” The novelty of a new setting, complete with new people and a different way of life, is what causes this surprise.
