In the past, the only means of transportation were horses and a limited variety of land transport. But in the 20th Century, due to advancements of science and technology the ways to travel have become very efficient. Due to ease of travel and fastest modes of transportation, nowadays people prefer to travel a lot across the world. Such trend has minimized the distances and helped the world to progress. However, there are still some factors that discourage people to visit other parts of the world.
Due to technology, now a person can go abroad through high quality planes. There are number of exceptional airline companies across the globe and some people also own their private planes, that can take them to other parts of the world within hours or days. Nowadays, countries exchange products, services and education with each other for the betterment of the society. Through possibility of world travel, the field of tourrism has been promoted that adds to the economy of a country and also gives a chance to the people to know about the culture and tradition of other countries. Trains are also used to travel to the neighborhood countries. Such improvements in the travel industry are obvious and they will continue to grow in future.
On the other hand, the internet has provided an alternate mean of communication with other people through social media sites, online portals for sharing art, online shopping and payment options. With comfort comes the difficulties, no doubt planes are the most efficient ways of transportation but sometimes they are threatening for life. Such as plane crash and hijacking. Recently the news of few lost planes was also in the media. Moreover, terrorism is also becoming one major reason why people do not want to travel to a strange world.
I personally believe that globalization is beneficial for prosperity of the world. By knowing each other and learning about other’s socio-economic values, the world can become a peaceful place to live. Thus the travel to other continents should continue to grow and the technology will keep on discovering even more efficient and safe means of travel. The government of a country should provide security to its visitors and respect them.
To conclude, it is certainly true that the world tour has become possible due to revolution and it is expanding with time. There are still some issues that need to be resolved and improvements to be made to encourage people for travelling abroad and interacting with other people.
