Eid travelling on the rise

Eid is almost here. Already many travel-bugs of the country have packed their bags and are ready to embark on their journeys to inbound and outbound destinations. It seems that an increasing number of Bangladeshis, from the middle and upper income households, are becoming more adventurous as they are willing to travel abroad and within Bangladesh as soon as they get any short or lengthy vacation.

Travelling is good for human beings as it helps them get some relief from the monotony of daily life. Travelling expands the mental horizon of any individual and helps them appreciate diversity across the world. Travelling also helps improve creativity in the traveller as it allows him or her to learn, feel and experience new things. As such, travelling also increases productivity.

The young people of the country should be encouraged to explore the world and also visit the scenic spots of Bangladesh. Flying to a foreign land is no more an expensive affair as there are many budget airlines offering cheap airfare to certain destinations, provided the tickets are bought a month or so early.

People need to travel and enjoy the beauty of the world. It will open their minds and souls and help them become better human beings.
