Secondly, living in a foreign country and having their local dishes can give you a completely new experience in having their traditional food, which you have never tasted i your own country.

Nowadays, more and more people around the world travel abroad to spend their holidays there. It is also easier and easier for people to go around the world thanks to globalization. Therefore, the number of foreign tourists is continuously increasing in every countries in the world, especially developed countries. Along with many benefits and joyfulness it brings when travelling abroad, there are also some disadvantages that people have to suffer from. So what are they? In this essay, I am going to show you the good and bad things about having a vacation in other countries. First, people desire to go abroad because they want to discover new lands, a place that they have never been to. Each country has different climate, scenery, people, culture, food and so on, so people want to see those differences, enjoy the new things in other countries. People around the world are attracted by the country's architecture. In particular, the architectural designs between the East and the West is different and each country has its own architecture, therefore, it brings people enthusiasm and satisfaction when they set foot in the strange nation. Tourists are not only attracted by man-made building but also by natural scenery. Beautiful beaches with turquoise water and white sand, marvelous mountain ranges with snow on top or forests with diverse plants and animals attract millions people from all over the world to explore. That must be great experiences! Other excellent factors that tourists want to discover when travelling overseas are food and culture. The food around the world is diverse and delicious, too. Even though the foreign food is tasty or not, the feelings when we eat are the exciting and unforgettable memories. Besides, different cultures also bring excitement for travellers during their journeys. Hence, travelling abroad brings us not only knowledge about different places in the world but also the great memories that we will never forget in the future. On the other hand, travellers also suffer from many troubles before and during their trip abroad. The tourists have to do many preparations which take lots of time to finish. Although a trip abroad nowadays is easier than it was a few years ago, people must make sure about the information in passports, visas, international driving permits and variety of documents they will need to bring along the trip. Furthermore, not getting knowledge about the destination such as the culture, the food, the language can also make tourists confused. For instance, one of my relatives travelled to the UK last year. Before the trip, he was very excited. But when he came back to Vietnam, he told me that he had to eat fast food all three days of the trip because he couldn't speak English. Therefore, the language barrier can make the trip abroad a bit less happy. Tourists should read the brochure that brings information about the place they will visit to get more knowledge in order not to be confused when they are in other countries. Besides, there are also other barriers that prevent travellers from their trip overseas such as money, time, ... It's hard for low-income people or people from developing countries to have a trip outside their countries. Moreover, the increase of working hours, the shorter summer vacation have cut the demand of travelling abroad. However, if travellers think positively about their trip, these barriers are not the problems. It all depends on your attitude. To sum up, travelling abroad can bring enthusiasm and excitement for tourists. They can know more about the world and get some unforgettable memories. Travelling abroad also benefits the tourism industry of the host country, promote the development of tourism, the prosperity of society and contribute to the diversity of human culture. However, people must prepare deeply for the trip to have a healthy and safe trip overseas.
