subject: Traveling Is Benefitial for Mind and Body [print this page] Medical tourism is fast rising as a popular sector of the traveling sector. A lot of countries earn money from third world country using medical tourism. Example: Singapore. Traveling always provides us with a time off from our lives, and this makes it our very best friend. We know so little, and traveling teaches us so much, and so, it can be called a teacher! By traveling around the world, you begin to unwrap the thread of knowledge, finding out different things as you go along. Most of the times we are conscious of only our culture, world etc. Traveling helps bringing people closer by making them learn about other worlds and cultures too. For example, a tourist from a first world country would never be aware of the love story between Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaj, or that he built a whole palace just for her. So, when he visits India, he can learn about that story or maybe even obtain some instructions on how to ride a camel while riding through the unexplained and mysterious lands. We learn endlessly from life. Traveling makes us view things from another perspective.
