"Some people travel on business, some in search of health, but it is neither the sickly nor the men of affairs who fill the Grand Hotels. It is those who travel 'for pleasure', as the phrase goes. What Epicurus, who never travelled, except when he was banished, sought in his own garden, tourists seek abroad.

And do they find their happiness? Those who frequent the places where they resort must often find this question, with a tentative answer in the negative, fairly forced upon them. For tourists are, in the main, a very glommy-looking tribe. One usually sees much brighter faces at a funeral than in the Piazza San Marco. One wonders why they go abroad.

The fact is that very few travellers like travelling. If they go to the trouble and expense of travelling, it is not so much from curiosity, for fun, or because they like to see things beautiful and strange, as out of a kind of snobbery. People travel for the same reason as they collect works of art: because the best people do it. To have been to certain spots on the earth's surface is socially correct; and having been there, one is superior to those who have not.

To justify this snobbery, a series of myths has gradually been elaborated. The places which it is socially smart to have visited are aureoled with glamour, till they are made to appear, for those who have not been there, like so many fabled Babylons and Bagdads.

The genuine Traveller, on the other hand, is so much interested in real things that he does not find it necessary to believe in fables. He is insatiably curious, he loves what is unfamiliar for the sake of its unfamiliarity, he takes pleasure in every manifistation of beauty." - Aldous Huxley.
