Traveling is becoming more convenient for people with the availability of different modes of transportation. Nowadays, we can also see that people travels overseas more frequently. A lot of tour agencies have made use of this to organize group tours. Traveling on a group tour can be effective as it is very convenient for the travelers. On the other hand, there are also other ways to travel overseas such as traveling by bag packing as one can better experience a foreign country and its culture. I will analyze both modes of traveling in this order.

Convenience is an important factor for a person in plan for a vocation in other countries. As in the busy world, people do not have much time to search for information about where to go or what are the best restaurants in the foreign countries. For example, I hardly find a time for myself to be able to travel overseas and the only free time I have, I would want spend it for my vocations overseas. Buying a group tour from a tour agency is certainly more convenient for those who do not have time in finding information about where to visit for sightseeing or shoppings.

On the other hand, going without a group such as bag packing and staying in a home stay could be an experiential trip for one to learn about the culture of the country. There are several countries that have a service for home stay instead of staying in a hotel. For example, there are many hill tribes’ villages in Southeast Asian countries that offer home stay services for bag packers. In this way, one could experience the ways of life and the cultures of the country or ethnic group which one cannot experience when going with a tour group that is usually staying in a hotel. Thus, it is another option for traveling overseas.

In conclusion, some prefer to travel on a tour group and some prefer not to depending on a person’s life style. As for me I find traveling with a tour agency more preferable as it suits my personal life style- working a lot- and I feel that I will still continue to travel with a tour group as long as I am still a working woman.

Most people who prefer traveling in groups are first-time tourists who would like to be assisted in their travels so that they could get the most out of their trip or holiday. As much as this arrangement seems logical and more practical, I believe that people on tours or groups should not limit themselves from experiencing a whole lot more than what the tour could offer.

Explore and have your own adventure is what I would advice a fellow traveler. In a manner of speaking, tours are scheduled trips that follow a routine destination every time. Having to follow only what the tour offers might not give a person the chance to explore more about the country and culture. For instance, employing a personal tour guide or a local will enable you to enjoy and see another side of the culture and people which other tours wouldn't probably have. These people can provide you with first hand information and insights about their ways of life.

Another way to travel might be to join an earlier tour and go back again at another day or time to the sites you found most interesting. Visiting these places one more time will give you a better satisfaction with regard to having a longer time in appreciating and marveling at some of your own personal finds. Unlike when you are a part of a tour or group, you would have to spend a specific amount of time at a spot and would have to move along together with the group because you need to visit other sites and you need to follow a strict schedule as well. Some places in Europe, like in Rome for example, have magnificent structures that you would want to take your time at looking and admiring.

To put it in a nutshell, group traveling is always the safest way to go and probably the most popular choice, however if you got an adventurous streak on you, it would never hurt to do something more special and have a more personal experience with your new found culture and friends.

hi, i saw your site.it impressed me a lot.please correct my essay and tell me the result.i want to improve my writing skills.Thank you.

Travelling is a good opportunity to see new placess and learn new culture,language and customs.it also enhances our knowledge.Going alone to a foriegn country is better than going in a group.

Most people like to go to a foriegn country with a group,because going to a new country alone might bring lot of problems .For example if we go alone to a place ,we can not understand their languge ,cultures and customs.However we do not know the places.so we need some one to help us thorough out our journey.Thatswhy some people like to travel by group.

on the other hand,travelling in a group may bring some difficulties.If we go in a group we cant spend much time to see all places.we have to be rush in all our journey,also we may miss to see few places.there is less freedom and enjoyment.so i think ,it is better to go alone or with our family rather than in a group.we could hire a tourist guider in all tourist places.they explain more about the place ,culture and customs.He also guide us in other popular places in that country.so we can take as much as time to spend and learn the new things in that place.It is worth rather than going in a group tour.

In conclusion ,travelling brings new experience and knowledge,which we get everything while travelling alone or with family than group travel.i think it is good to all people who travel abroad that they have to choose family tour rather than a group tour.

Some people who want to travel overseas elect to go on group tours. This can provide them with a sense of security and ease in a foreign country where they are unfamiliar with the language and customs, but it can also restrict them from experiencing a lot of things about the country they havecome to see.

To what extent is this style of travel effective?

Are there better ways to travel overseas and experience a foreign country and culture?

Nowadays, advancements in technology and telecommunication have made international traveling much easier and faster. Many people prefer to spend their holidays on traveling abroad. There are various ways for this and the most prominent one is through tourist agencies which usually organise a tour for a group of individuals to visit one or more than one attractive areas. However, other ways one could choose include, journey as an exchange student, a volunteer for humanistic activities in specific areas of need in underprivileged countries, adventurous travels, and traveling around the world by bicycle for fund raising.

Firstly, people travel abroad mainly because they are enthusiastic to more directly enjoy seeing the touristy areas, and become familiar with language, culture, customs and also history of each area. They also would like to have excitement and fun and get relaxed. However, some people find traveling more enjoyable if their travel is accompanied by study, work, collecting donations for different purposes, or supporting people in poor countries.

Secondly, tourist agencies are usually expert companies which could help people for finding the appropriate hotels and also guiding them to different places. This is of course more secure to go traveling as part a tour. Moreover, there is an opportunity to know other travelers in the tour and sometime make long lasting friend ship with them. However, as a member of a group there are more limitations. For example everybody has to pursue the same schedule.

Thirdly, there are other options one can arrange to see the overseas. For example, students could decide to do part of their curriculum in one overseas university, and therefore, not only first hand feel the other sites, but also spend part of their study in another education institute. Furthermore, a volunteer while enjoy helping poor countries and people, can get familiar with different aspects of lives in overseas.

In conclusion, in my view, people have different intentions and choices for traveling abroad. Although tours are a safe and an appropriate way of journies, some individuals may desire to travel in other ways.

There are different ways to travel oversees, you can go by a tour or you may choose to go on your own. there are pros and cons for each of these ways but iI believe every person has to choose either way according to his/her personality and a certain way may not work for every one.

Obviously, it is more convenient to let a traveling agency plan your tour for you. They will handle everything from getting the tickets and the visa, to booking hotels, to choosing the places you would like to visit in the new country and etc. Above all, in a tour as you are group traveling, you will definitely find new friends and have a lot of fun. The only disadvantage is that your schedule is limited to the tour's and you can not insert your own taste in it.

Meanwhile, some people prefer to travel without joining a tour. Such people have to make all the reservations and bookings on their own and should gather some information about the place they are going to before starting their trip.In this way, you have the freedom to do whatever you like, such as staying longer in a city you enjoyed the most or skipping some sight-seeing and going shopping instead. If you don't mind staying in a "bed and breakfast" instead of a 4 or 5 star hotel, and you are not that fond of other luxuries,Traveling without a tour is usually less costly.

On the other hand, the best way to learn about a foreign culture is to skip shopping and sight-seeing and join the natives in their everyday life. A friend of mine did that in Greece by finding friends among the natives and accompanying them in their different get-togethers and other ceremonies.

Nevertheless, either way has some benefits and disadvantages. I personally prefer to travel in a tour, unless I have a friend in the country I am going to who can help me in planning my schedule. There are many different tours available nowadays for a variety of tastes and I believe everyone can find one which is the most suitable for them.
