I think that there are striking differences between how people are travelling now and how they used to travel in the past. One such difference would be in terms of the mode of travel. In the past, many people preferred to go by train or by public transport due to the expensive tickets involved in going by air or by personal transport. At that time, airplanes were not very accessible to all. Next would be the destinations that you can cover. Now due to globalisation, there are so many places that have opened up to all the people around the world which was not the case in the past when there were a lot of travel restrictions. Lastly, one big difference can also be observed in the preference of where people are travelling. Earlier it used to be mostly domestic.

In the past, many people preferred to go by train or by public transport due to the expensive tickets involved in flying or using personal transport. At that time, airplanes were not very accessible to everyone. Next would be the destinations that you can cover. Now, due to globalization, there are so many places that have opened up to people around the world, which was not the case in the past when there were many travel restrictions.
