Abstract:
"From this thesis I hope that the world will understand the benefits travel can bring
to our everyday lives, and that we do not need money or even all the time in the world to
feel the cultural impact of destinations across the globe. Recent research from San
Francisco State University found that people who spent money on experiences rather than
material items were happier and felt the money was better spent. The experiences and
benefits we gain from travel will last a lifetime, and through this series of programming we
give more people the opportunity to benefit from exposure to new cultures without having
to spend an excess of time or money. I hope this study will inspire others to learn about
new cultures, and continue to stress the importance of learning and growth that travel can
bring to us all. The destinations inspiring this thesis are Angkor Wat, Joshua Tree, Bora
Bora the Swiss Alps, Queenstown, and India (for the celebration of Holi). This programming
provides a solution to long international flights and not easily accessible destinations for
Americans."
