Travelling yesterday and today. What has changed?
One of the biggest changes concerning travel was the loss of innocence. Remember the days when if you were a cute baby you could look out into the cockpit of a jet without being mistaken for a terrorist in the grass? Or when you could get on board with one and a half liters of your favorite beverage without having to distribute the liquids in containers so small as boring? Or, finally, when the security men were not ready to search you in the most unexpected moments?
What we have lost in terms of innocence, however, we have gained in convenience and information: online booking very easy and detailed reviews to the springs of the bed or pillow type. The next time you set out to search Google for advice on the best hotels or posada, fun to take a step back with the memories. The ideas below may help you.
DECIDING WHERE TO GO
Yesterday:'d leafed through catalogs and brochures in a travel agency or trawled through the pages of a guide in the library. Or, you would have been inspired by the photographs of a friend.
Today: immediate access to blogs, video and social networks has broadened your horizons. You can read something about the favorite food truck in Portland and, almost without noticing it, find yourself driving on the roads of the Pacific Northwest.
HOW TO GET TO DESTINATION
Yesterday: less frequent flights, airlines, and less importantly, less low cost. Travelling was a matter not at all instinctive, required greater planning, more patience and more time. And you were often forced to go (sorry) in a travel agency.
Today: sail in search of the best offer, please enter the details of your credit card ... you're already gone. You can check in online, print your ticket: the travel agency you!
CHOOSE AND BOOK A HOTEL
Yesterday: catalogs, guides, word of mouth and then the inevitable phone call booking.
Today: unleash your online information tools, from search engines to web reviews of other travelers. And then you book, always online.
MI AS COSTS?
Yesterday we asked Bob, one of our readers and long-time backpacker. And we said: "Often young travelers tell me that they think my time was spent less. I answer that I would have spent $ 400 at the time for a boat trip one-way to the UK today have become 50 , for a week of travel! And so they understand how convenient it is to travel today. "
Today: thought once inconceivable to move between London and Belgium spending a little more than the price of a movie ticket is reality.
HOW TO STAY IN TOUCH
Yesterday: you wrote letters, postcards and sometimes you spedivi lanciavi in a telephone call. If your friends were traveling, you were not ready to hear for a long time, for the simple fact that they were away! And you were certain that you would have them reviewed before that person on You Tube.
Today: e-mail, Skype, Twitter, Facebook. The volume of fire information is impressive. Finding a nice card, instead, became the real business.
WHAT HAPPENS ON SITE?
Yesterday Tourist Offices were the main reference. Today, unfortunately, some have closed because people are looking for information on the web. With Googlemaps and the GPS, then, it has become (almost) superfluous even ask for directions.
Today: want to know where to eat vegan in Ulaanbaatar? Quiet, someone will have a blog on this!
