Is travelling worth the effort and money?

The travel agency arranges everything for you. They book and buy the plane or train ticket for you. When you arrive, you are met at the airport or at the station by a representative of the travel agency. A comfortable room in a hotel is already reserved for you. You are offered a programme of excursions which is paid for in advance. You don’t have to worry about food. It`s very comfortable and reliable.

When travelling by yourself, you feel a sense of adventure. When you arrive, you can choose any place you want to stay. If you don’t feel like going on an excursion, you don’t have to go. It hasn’t been paid for anyway. When you are in a new place, you can investigate it yourself. It is the cheapest type of tourism but a very rewarding one.
