WORLDWIDE | Sunday, 22 April 2012 | Views [181] | Scholarship Entry
Traveling is one of the many hobbies which are being favorited by people in the world, just like me. But, as I see it, traveling is not just for spending our money, holidays or even shopping for some unique handicrafts, but for saying thanks to God for the gifts we can feel and enjoy. However, there are so many opinions from people about some places for tourism. For example is the beach. In the tourists’ sight, it is a beautiful place for swimming, surfing, or sun bathing and they don’t want to leave these places soon. But, for the merchant, it is a common view they see every day and these places become more functional , than for relaxing. It is also assists them to get money to fulfill their daily needs. Still, they have some differences in their treatment of these places. For tourist, mountains are the place for refreshing their mind after doing daily activities. They enjoy the scenery but they aren’t doing some actions to keep it beautiful. They often throw trash such as plastic bottles, etc without thinking about the effects that can happen in this area. Moreover, for the local community, mountains are such an object of tourism, being the place for getting some money by selling food and beverages, souvenirs, or also taking advantage of the natural resources, such as cutting down the trees for firewood, building their houses, etc. The other points of view from researchers and social workers are that they are more considerate in preserving the environment and the animals which are living in those places. So, there are many opinions from seeing the world through the eyes of others. They have minus and plus points depending on their objectives or purposes in seeing the world.
