Although the advancement of technology has provided many ways to educate people, it is still ideal to personally see the location. People can learn about the country through the internet and see pictures of their travel destination. However, they cannot interact with nature and the people as well as taste the food and then learn about their country first hand.

People who never go on a holiday usually have a narrow vision in life. Their outlook is limited only to theories they read from books and other sources. They will never realize the real greatness of a country without personally travelling to the place. Learning is certainly incomplete without travelling.
