It's Better To Be A Traveller Than A Tourist
It's Better To Be A Traveller Than A Tourist
In Tokyo, being a traveler means exploring in a friendly way, like making friends with locals and
finding cool, less-known spots. Travelers take their time, enjoying each place, while tourists rush to
see famous things quickly. Travelers like surprises and don’t stick strictly to plans, while tourists follow
a strict schedule.
People who travel with responsabilty in Tokyo are careful not to harm the environment and respect
local traditions. They try to be nice guests. On the other hand, some tourists might unintentionally
cause problems, like making places too crowded and making the experience feel boring.
So, the big difference is in how people think: travelers want real experiences and friendships with
different people, while tourists just want to check off a list of popular places.
