The ART of Traveling

Tourism is like buying a painting for your enjoyment

Travelling is like buying a piece of art as an investment

A travel experience is like buying a piece of art and the question always fascinates is: Is it REAL or is it FAKE.

Tourism products are mostly a collection of standardized products, well presented in a teasing package. They are branded as being real and unique, but reality tells us that most of them are replicas of what already exists. In art terms we can call these pieces ‘fake’, in the travel world we sometimes refer to them as ‘tourist traps’.

To discover the difference between tourism and travel, the preparation to your journey is vital. Besides choosing the destination, a deeper investigation of what you are looking for is needed.

As with art, where it should not be the name of the gallery but the artwork of the artist that needs to inspire. In the travel world it should not be the brand name but the experience, which should inspire, and give deeper meaning to your private time.

When “essence” disappears, the art of travelling has no purpose and no added value can be created, but when the experience becomes meaningful and real, the art of travelling can become priceless.

In our lives we often have to judge things without knowing if they are true or false, if they can be trusted, and if they will offer the values of what we are looking for.

Assuming that in many cases it is not possible to be 100% certain that an art work or in this case a private travel experience is authentic and real, we have to consider the following guidelines.

An art dealer that sells private time is called a “travel expert” but to survive in a very competitive market many only want to play safe. They also need to become top producers for international brands to financially survive … and if so, they once again are offering commercial value only. By doing this they will never become the artist that can spark the traveller and to let traveling become a true investment for personal growth.

To receive a true enhanced reality when traveling, start eliminating what does not offer essence and purity. Keep it discreet and personal and let people engage and discover that the human and local connection is the premium they will receive.

I am not the “auction expert” in travel products, but at Knai Bang Chatt we do go beyond the normal and offer a collection of new travel architecture.

Once again:

Remember that travelling needs to be like investing in a piece of art.

– When its not real it is worthless

– When it is real, it might become priceless

Also, a real connoisseur in the travel industry will earn a much better  living in the trade of experiences as in trying to sell rooms at its auction house.
