Yatra: An Experience

Vivek Singh

Tourism seems to a modern industry for us but it is not. Early humans (Homo sapiens) used this business/technique for their survival and survival was the vital step for evolution of humans like you and us. We appreciate tourism for many other reasons: opportunity to travel and meet new people, opportunity to enjoy different cultures and most importantly it confirms that there is nobody like you (Visit Goa and look around. Did you find someone like you?)

As a privileged creature, we must explore new places and cultures. These experiences change your perspective of life and inspire you as well. Padma Bhushan Rahul Sankrityayan, a great travel writer, achieved most of his fame by travelling and exploring new places and their cultures. 

Yuval Noah Harari, a famous Israeli historian wrote in his book “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind“

“Tourism industry does not sell flight tickets and hotel bedrooms. It sells experiences. Paris is not a city, nor India a country – they are both experiences”
