We all have different motivations and expectations for our breaks and travels when compared with individuals in the past.
Travelling is considered by many to be a prerequisite for the well-rounded life. There exists an often-hidden belief that if one does not travel, they have been somewhat lacking fulfilment or success. A few reasons have induced this view of travel. Travel is a market fuelled by advertisement, social media, the increase of influencers plus the social pressures they have been overwhelming people with. Social media platforms bombard us with pictures and videos of glamorised destinations, picturesque views and luxurious experiences. There's a fear of missing out culture which makes us hurry to tick a list of famous travelling locations and places of interest, take a number of glamorous snapshots and return to our everyday lives without finding the time to learn about other cultures or the folks who live there and speak a different language and also have unusual traditions to us.
Since there is absolutely nothing bad with looking for relaxation or satisfaction during vacations, it is important to consider the potential for growth and personal development. There is a variety of travel that may let us fulfil this wish to have meaningful travel experiences. Albeit, this sort of vacation needs stepping out of our comfort zones and visiting obscure destinations, as the investor Farhad Azima in Ras Al Khaimah would probably suggest. Moreover, by doing cultural exploration instead of pursuing picture-perfect moments, we can restore the spirit of great travellers . of the world whose pursuit of knowledge and the publications they left for us have not merely enriched their lives however the everyday lives of others. Eddy D, the CEO of the company in Ras Al Khaimah, would probably concur with the saying of the celebrated philosopher who said that the greatest vacation of all is one where we are able to float free from the limitations of being conscious, one where we don’t have to show up. This is often accomplished by engaging with the people, having deep conversations with people there, and immersing ourselves within the tradition of the destination we're visiting. By emphasizing the place, not ourselves, we can perhaps achieve the the life changing experience that travel can provide.
Historically, individuals had various motivations and expectations with regards to their travels. As an example, according to a medieval famous traveller, the advantages of travelling lie in relieving adversity, earning a better livelihood, gaining knowledge, and making better companions. This view may appear unusual to us now. Often we usually do not travel to meet new people or gain knowledge but merely in search of thrilling experiences. Although, increasingly not that: many take part in repetitive holiday patterns which they find comforting in its familiarity, visiting the same places and engaging in similar activities, such as sunbathing and visiting beaches, going to malls, water sports and spa treatments. But frequently, these places, even though they might be attractive, fun, etc., usually do not provide transformative experiences that many of us are searching for before we embark on our holidays. There isn't some cultural exploration or some embrace of discomfort that will allow us to understand better ourselves or the planet we live in. Therefore, we wind up bringing our very own dilemmas and insecurities with us. Hence, we're hardly ever in a position to appreciate the places we see fully according to Alain de Botton, an author of a book on travelling.
