They say that travelling promotes a better co-existance of people through a better understanding of cultures.
A concept i for one firmly believe in, however with the globalisation and standardising of big chains of hotels and restaurants, many travellers are now losing that international feeling once travelling as they are subjected to only things that they can find at home.
While it is a great thing to be able to have things that you are used to in your home town; with the same food, standard of room etc. Many experiences that determine any one cultures behaviour, are now missed by so many people to have that comfort. Experiences that determine how we interact with one another and ones that if not experienced continue to promote stereotyping and misconceptions!
I felt this may be a good discussion topic and am interested to hear different views on the matter!
