some individuals hold the opinion that travelling abroad is required to learn about other countries, whereas others assert that technology has given us armchair tourisis required to lichwa ban see all the information on television and the internet. This essay intends to analyse both perspectives. I side with the former view.
Those who believe in actually touring foreign places, give their main reasons that images on computers can never replace real places. No matter how real and vivid computer images are, they are only images and can never be likened to the historical objects and natural wonders that we see in real or might be allowed to touch with our fingertips. The difference can be compared to seeing the picture of a mango rather than actually eating it.
Secondly, visiting other countries is a rewarding experience in many respects. For one thing, it is a good exercise. When people make the trip to a foreign country then they visit the places of interest there and also get some exercise, which does a lot of good to their health. They generally go with family and friends and enjoy a lot. They also learn about the culture and tradition of the place. All this broadens their horizons, which can never be done by the passive activity of seeing something on the computer screen. At the same time, they also get a chance to spread the good points of their own culture also.
On the other hand, those in favour of armchair tourism also have valid arguments. Firstly, not all people can afford the expenses. Secondly some people may have limitations because of age or failing health. Armchair tourism is a boon for those people. When it is temporarily impossible for them to visit other countries in person, they can get a rough picture of what those countries are like. Another argument, which goes in favour of armchair tourism, is that people are very busy and have no time. They have become workaholics in the rat race of money and material wealth. Finally, extremes of climate also make certain places inaccessible to some people.
In conclusion, armchair tourism is there today but international travel will still be needed. I believe that the experience of actually going to a foreign country can never be compared to just seeing those places, sitting at home,
