Depending on different factors

Do you consider yourself a tourist or a traveler? If you are not clear, from today you will know, because we are going to tell you about the main differences between these two types of people. Of course, it is important to keep in mind that you can be a tourist on some trips and a traveler on others. The truth is that it depends on different factors: our objectives when planning the getaway, the destination, the budget, our character, if we are going to travel in company ...

The Turist

To make clear what are the differences between these two ways of traveling, we will first talk about tourists and their main characteristics. Thus, the first thing to keep in mind is that the main objective of a tourist is to visit the most important tourist of the destination, where it is normal to find many foreign people doing the same thing: tourism. On the other hand, tourists differ from travelers in that they usually carry a camera and wear the same clothes that they would bring at home. It is also important to note that the tourist usually speaks English and does not worry too much about learning some phrases in the local language. In addition, they usually stay in the main cities and in comfort zones, without risking visiting smaller cities or off the typical routes. Of course, keep in mind that they usually stay in places where they have practically the same services as at home.

If we stick to the illustrations, we can say that tourists are people who like to make themselves selfies instead of photographing the surroundings, they do not travel alone, they do not get too tired, they are not too adventurers, they plan the trip and everything that it entails well in advance, and they sleep in comfortable hotels and accommodations, among other characteristics that are clear by taking a look at the images.

Travellers

For its part, in general terms, we could define the traveler as someone who wants to immerse himself in local cultures instead of standing out over them. They usually try to explore less traveled areas and explore places where the economy is not driven by tourism, something that today is quite difficult to find. It is also important to note that travelers intend to to interact with locals, something that has a lot to do with the fact that among his main goals is learning and experiencing new things, instead of enjoying a break from everyday life, which is just as acceptable, of course. In other words, the traveler thinks of travel as more than just a vacation.

If we take into account the illustrations, we can define the traveler as a person who travels alone, who tries to immortalize the environment around him, without having to appear in the images; that he is quite adventurous, that he only needs a backpack to go on a trip and that he does not give much importance to comfort, both in terms of accommodation and travel. Then we leave you with our Gallery, where, as we mentioned at the beginning, you can find illustrations that show the main differences between tourists and travelers. Do not miss it!
