            Europe is not the only place to travel to, is it????????

            Jump to last reply Flag this topic

            I cannot understand why so many people in North America consider travel to be limited to a trip to Europe or a sun destination (Carribean) in the winter. I have looked at various travel brochures at travel agencies that maybe 95% of these are for Europe or sun destinations. What happened to travelling to places elsewhere? Okay, my travel agent may have a brochure or two on Egypt, a Safari, or for Asia (China has now become a little popular, because despite the flight is expensive, hotels, meal, etc are not so a trip to China is similar in cost to a trip to Europe) . Ask a travel agent for information about these places (outside Europe) and it's oh, you want ot go there, said as if they are puzzled.........Why would anybody want to go there??

            Now, I know many people on this website book there own trips without travel agents. And, I do want to stress my complaint is not limited to travel agents. I know somepeople who travel once or twice a year to Europe and would never think of going elsewhere. None of them not have family in Europe to visit, to them the sights to be seen are all in Europe. I'd had a conversation with some of these people recently, and I am quite convinced that they are narrow minded and really don't realize there are some impressive sights elsewhere. Of course, much of this is ignorance, their attitude...oh, we'll be safe in Europe, but ? I would never go there!

            I'm sure the Europe forum is more active than the other forums on Fodors.com.

            Why such an emphasis on Europe? They are so many places to visit, in Europe and on other continents.
