  • In many areas it is indeed like a package tour: everyone does the same basic set of activities and see the same basic places, whether we choose to create it locally or not. But at the end of the day, we create our own experiences: it's up to us to create what we want.

    It's not just what we do, but how we do it.
  • Yes, you are correct...tourists have their own right to experience a place in their own way. Packaged tours are trying taking away this right. Now the reasons of traveling also changing drastically, people are traveling to get surgery done abroad. There are many reasons for this, for example - low costs and also to avoid long waits in their home countries.
