Add into it the cheap air fares, etc… and it opened up the world to the average Joe, who has not the best manners or realistic expectations all the time.
Should only rich people should be able to travel? People with more money also have more manners?
add in the fact there are too damn many of us on this planet that anywhere remotely interesting to visit is packed from dawn to dusk and it gets annoying having to wait for things all the time
There is a football stadium near my home. Those fans should all stay home. I bet some don’t even come from my city. They make public transit busy when there are games! Why do we have to share this world with others?!
EDIT: I don’t want to seem like I entirely disagree but again, capitalism and mass tourism. Social media is also to blame. Societal hype. But if you think you have to wait everywhere that’s “worth” visiting, maybe you can try to spread out. We don’t all have to go visit the Eiffel tower or the same national park in Croatia.
I don’t don’t think it should be just for rich people, but when i was a kid it was rare to travel far abroad, and with it came a sort of feeling of responsibility to represent your place of origin well through good behavior, and be respectful to the place you are visiting, even as a kid i understood that without being told.
That aspect is definitely gone in the era of mass tourism. Every place can be reached quickly and for cheap, it sort of devalues the experience of travelling.
This is all I was alluding too. Change in access is not inherently a bad thing, but it has cheapened the experience over all and expectations have changed along with it. Add in today’s culture of Now Now Now and things are getting tense out there.
