Tourists Vs Travellers: 12 Differences Revealed In Minimalistic Illustrations
Are you a tourist or a traveller? Apparently, the distinction is important! And here’s a Holidify illustration series showing the differences between these two groups of cosmopolitan vagabonds. It seems that tourists prefer cultural sights and easy accommodations while travellers travel light, sleep wherever they can, and are lone rebels (probably without a cause).
The illustrations were prepared by Holidify, a company hosting an app for all those traveling in India.

Got wisdom to pour?
The implication is that if you stay in a hotel, visit a big city, travel with a group, you are a tourist. Disagree. I love museums and the buzz of cities such as London, Hong Kong, Sydney and Beijiing. I explore using mass transit as well as walking. Eat in local restaurants, cafes and food stands. Buy local and absorb the culture as well a cultural activities. That does not make me a tourist.
I seems to be on both sides.. so does that makes a tourist of traveller? =P
for example: i usually travel alone and I bring dslr, laptop. I climb mountains but also stay in hotel, hostel, climb mountains yet also visit local sights..
this is just a simplistic way of looking at things.. not accurate at all.
So what? Being a tourist is something to avoid and a traveller is cool uh, wannabes? Read a good book and stop being such an idiot
Don’t necessarily agree with all the comparisons, yet it’s a nice infographic to get you thinking.
As I wrote a post on my french blog about that, I can tell you, we’re never 100% Traveller or Tourist but we’re a good mix of both.
I’m a traveller enjoying a good museum, all the vibes coming from a city ( love to be in the middle to Times Square with a ton of people on Black Friday ).
So take this kind of post sparingly.
No matter how achingly boho and individual you try to be, the people of Paris, Delhi, Jaffna or Timbuktu only see a tourist, so can we stop with this childish tourist vs. traveller crap?
Awesome. I want to be Traveler
Simply stunning..
excellent !
