Tourist Vs Traveller

I don’t normally share information directly from a magazine but this we

ekend I came across RESIDENTE RIVIERA MAYA and found it very interesting they present their information, I think it is very original wa

y they transmit ideas.

 Tourist

• Compares between places where they are live and the place are visiting.
• Visits the must-sees, historic sites or monuments.
• Not related to the residents or local culture.
• Choose their memories in a souvenir shop.
• Is passive, waiting for things to happen to him.
• Wants to feel protected, finds acceptable levels of comfort.
• Is guided by itineraries, departures and arrival times, and reserved tours.

 Traveller

• Is free from prejudice and comes with an open mind.
• Puts away the map, and asks question to the locals and lets locals guide them.
• Engages and relates in conversations with the locals.
• Searches for a unique craft to take home.
• Is active. He goes in search of adventure.
• Always looking to find experiences than real comfort, expectations are created.
• Not defined itineraries, spontaneous is part of the journey.
