Rodrigo Afonso Kirchner – Contributing to The Growth of The Tourism Sector of Bali Through His Company

Travelling is an exciting and exhilarating experience for an individual; the mere thought of it brings to our minds visuals of a sun-soaked beach, and people sipping margaritas while relaxing, but in reality, there is a lot more to it. It is no secret that traveling is good for our mental and physical wellbeing, people visit cozy small towns, vibrant cities and natural environments like forests and beaches to take a break from their hectic and busy life, which not only acts as an escape from their everyday worries, but also gives them the opportunity to reinvent themselves.

Traveling and tourism not only has positive impact on a person’s overall health, but it is also very crucial for the economy of a country. Tourism increases the overall revenue of a region, establishes the infrastructures of a nation, creates many employment opportunities, and develops a sense of cultural exchange between citizens and foreigners. Governments around the world depend heavily on the tourism sector and therefore invest a huge percentage of their budgets into improving the infrastructure of their nation. As they want more tourists to visit their country, they develop and maintain advanced facilities such as new highways and roads, parks, new airports, enhanced public spaces, and possibly better hospitals and schools.

Traveling is an extremely vital aspect of our lives as it opens us up to a variety of ways of living. Through traveling we explore new places and build new connections with diverse people belonging to different cultures. This not only broadens our perspectives, but also contributes to our personal growth. It allows us to experience and explore places from a point of wonder and curiosity, where one doesn’t have to dwell on their past life experiences or think about the future.
