Well, I think people see traveling as something more normal. People have accepted that getting on a plane and traveling to other countries is something normal these days. Meaning, traveling is more affordable here than back in my country. For example, for you to travel to my country, to another country, you need to pay a lot of money. The flights are really expensive. So traveling is more luxury. While here in Europe, traveling, at least traveling within the region, is something that has become more normal over time. And then you see that people travel more because it has become more affordable. Traveling from the UK to other European countries is much more normal. That traveling from my country to other destinations is more expensive there and it’s more affordable here. So I think that’s one of the main differences. The economic differences and then also maybe it’s more of a cultural thing to travel with the European Union. It’s a one big community rather than traveling within Latin America where countries are much more open.
