21st century travel "perspectives" are intertwined with "Globalization"

    In the 21st century, "opinionated explanations" abound so "perspective" exists for travel.
     According to Google:  "People will turn to travel for deeper, more engaging, human experiences and connections. Travel is a gateway to discovering different cultures and perspectives - in 2023, people will focus on travel as a way to create deeper connections with friends, family, colleagues, customers, cultures and the earth."
     The "right" opinion is embodied by what I call the "culture" police, in this case, the "right" way to travel has to be "meaningful," because the "right" approach to living in the "global" world, is to embrace a "global identity."
     Now the travel industry is part of that advancement.
    Therefore National Geographic tells us that in 2023 travel must be more meaningful, and Forbes, a well respected travel industry publication, has determined that in this same 2023 year when political turmoil and wars are causing chaos, the cultures of the world should be embraced.
    Thus, traveling to distant lands of unfamiliar cultures is the "right" thing to do.
    However, Roadbook claims the insiders know that travel "perspectives" are really "trends" the travel industry sets up to market brand name hotel properties and tourism destinations.  
    Nonetheless the 21st century's travel "perspective" is akin to a "global identity" celebrating unique cultures and teaching us how to become "connected" to the world with friends and family as part of the mix - as well,  embracing travel "perspectives" encourages a search for the "unfamiliar" as a way of traveling specifically to embrace difference – for instance, going to Italy year after year is the "wrong" way to travel in the 21st century.  
   The 2023 travel industry standard based on "cultural difference," sets forth a "global" view of the world - the "Globalists" believe that understanding different "perspectives" will avoid wars and bring peace to the world.
