MODERATORS
My opinions are my own and don't apply to everyone. You're entitled to your own opinions. But since you asked:
It's fine sometimes, but I absolutely hate what it has become culturally. The overspending, environmental pollution, blatant disregard of historical sites by tourists, making life miserable for locals, etc etc. The number of shit companies that prey on people's desperation to go on holiday. And people see it as some moral good that they are entitled to. You are not a better person for going on holiday ("travelling"). Your all inclusive resort is not expanding your horizons. "I haven't been on holiday in 3 months" is the not human rights abuse some people portray it to be. I think we all have an obligation to reduce our holiday footprint the way we have an obligation to reduce our beef consumption.
I totally agree
