Since an increasing number of people can afford traveling, it becomes a popular outdoor recreation, and the destination of the holiday comes into a hot topic. Some people prefer to travel abroad because they yearn for the exotic culture and foods, most of them have never been abroad before. However, after the comparison of the advantages between traveling aboard and domestically, I would insist that people benefit more from the latter one, because touring within the nation can help people save both money and time, as well as enjoying the holiday with much convenience.
To begin with, it is undeniable that spend the holiday in foreign countries would be much more expensive than traveling in one's own country. Given the same amount of money, people can share a higher quality holiday within the country rather than abroad. First, the money spend on the mainland airplane tickets is considerably lower than international airline. It may cost ten times of money for flight from Beijing to New York than to Shanghai. In addition, foreign hotels and food would hardly be cheaper than their counterparts in the mainland becasue people surely know the market better of domestic, and they are capable of choosing the most economic hotels and restaurants. Therefore, traveling within the country is more affordable.
Apart from saving money, having holidays within the country can also save time. It takes almost 10 hours to travel from China to Europe by plane, not to mention by train or boat, where as it takes within 3 hours to flight anywhere domestically. Time means a lot for people, especially those office workers, they have only 2 days to have a break of one week, and the time they saved on the transportation can be spend on a more meaningful way, such as taking exercise to keep healthy. In addition, traveling long hours will lead to tiresome which contradict with the aim of the journey: relaxation.
Finally, the most significant advantage of traveling within the country is the same language. People speak the same language within the country, and it surely brings about great convenience when traveling around. On the contrary, if someone is touring abroad, the language may block the communication with local people and the understanding of exotic history and culture. Take an extreme situation for example, during the tourism when emergency happens, how can the foreigner call for help in local language if he or she can only speak native language?
In all, I strongly insist that it is better for people to travel within one's own country, not only for money, but also for a better experience of life. |
