Tourists and travelers

There are not only many different kinds of

destinations and vacations, but also different
kinds of sightseers.
We can split up people in two different
groups:
Travelers and tourists.
The first group is formed by people who visit
unexplored places, usually they find new
destinations. Their holidays are pretty
adventurous and maybe dangerous.
Travelers are easy recognisable by their moral
and ethic point of view, that forces them to
live the vacation in the most similar way of the
indigenous people, like for example eating
only typical food.
For these reasons they are really snobbish with
tourists,accusing them of ruining places and
traditions; but the real problem are actually the
travelers themselves.
In fact they don’t boost local economy in any
way and with this message of preservation of
local villages and traditions, they are slowing
killing this realities.
The tourists on the other and of this
dychotomy scale, are the real engine and
saviour of many places. They contribute to the
formation of hotels and similar services, that
create new job opportunities for the locals.
The wealth of this places is rapidly increasing,
setting off a chain reaction, that if it is not
controlled could quicly ruin vegetation due to
concreting.Like is happennig in Budua
(Montenegro) .
Another negative impact of the tourists could
be their massive presence.
I can describe myself as something between a
traveler and a tourist, trying to take the best
from both sides.
On one hand I enjoy the comfort of a bedroom
rather that a tent, I want to try typical cuisine
or visiting some non mainstream places.
For example when I was in Berlin I saw a
quarter with cottages in the center of the city.
