    I don’t understand why people obsess over vacations

    Maybe in this case where the “vacation” is just going to Disney and buying Disney themed stuff, but do you really not get the idea of a vacation in general?

    I feel like (based on my experiences and talking to other people) is vacations are more for new experiences, new food, new cultures, new people. Not just “consumer behaviors”.

      This. I haven’t gone to multiple countries in latin america for weeks to just buy shit. The food in lima is some of the best i’ve ever had, just don’t go alone for safety :P

      My position is that tourism is cancer especially the modern version where you have idiots going to tourism traps to experience

      new food, new cultures, new people.

      Which is literally just “consumer behaviors”

      Most historic urban cores are fucking gutten from obnoxious behaviour and these places unlivable and devoid of any culture beyond architectural style.

      Alternative are cruises and resorts… Which are prolly less damaging to the cities… But what fucking culture is there
