Pretending that visiting tourist traps in Prague or Paris or Rome is experiencing “other cultures” is a delulu mind set aka blind consumerism at its finest.
Same guy prolly think he is a “liberal” and he is fighting climate change ge while at it 🤡
Agreed. People claim flying halfway across the planet exposes them to “different cultures” , but then do the most homegenized, Westernized touristy activities. I can learn more about a country and it’s culture in a single day via Wikipedia and documentaries than most tourists will gain on their “vacation” in same country.
My position is that tourism is cancer especially the modern version where you have idiots going to tourism traps to experience
Which is literally just “consumer behaviors”
Most historic urban cores are fucking gutten from obnoxious behaviour and these places unlivable and devoid of any culture beyond architectural style.
Alternative are cruises and resorts… Which are prolly less damaging to the cities… But what fucking culture is there
The only types of vacations you can imagine are visiting historic urban cores, going on a cruise, or going to a resort?
What about a camping trip? Or a beach trip? Or visiting family that lives far away?
I don’t think that wanting to experience other cultures is a consumerist behavior.
