Grand travel is traditional travel, which is the ideal developed in 17th century to travel around European countries with an itinerary. The travel means self discovery, experience sublime, and enjoy. At the time, there was not much of information that one could find about the other countries or states, therefore the people traveled a lot to discover and gain new experience. The curiosity makes the travel more pleasurable. Grand travel is referring to classical tour. It is a group young men (without not much of knowledge of sites) searching and looking at the classical sites around the world for 6 to 8years. Now a day, there are so much information that one could find in the book stores or internet, because many travelers from the past have published the book about the own experience of visiting other countries. However this could be advantage or bad for those new travelers. The advantage is one can conveniently schedule an itinerary to look at the important classical sites much as possible in period of traveling. The bad is that travelers does not get deep impression of looking at the classical sites, because one already knows about the history, importance, and architecture. When Grand tour in Europe was critical ideal in 17th century, Asia just has begun to have grand tour.
In Asia, there is Asia package trip. It is not exactly the same style of grand tour however it is similar in the way that the trip goes around Asia. Until mid 20th century, most of the Asian countries had confliction between each others, because of the war and invasions, therefore the people never dreamed about traveling to the other countries. As the Japan, China, and Korea agree to anti-war, Asia found a peace. Years later, Japan’s temple and China’s the Great Wall has become most famed tourist spot. Also the wounds from the war have become classical sites for the travelers. Some important part to sight around in Asia is architecture. The architecture in China, Japan, and Korea could seem the same and it is true, because most of the tradition was derived from ‘Myung’ Dynasty (currently China). However, each countries have own characteristics. The old temple is good to look at the difference. Chinese temples are built high, Japanese roofs are built in straight, and Korean temples are low. In Europe, most of the countries are next to each others, but in Asia many countries are apart, therefore it is impossible to take the rail system to travel around. Since the cost of the flight is expensive, it is very difficult for the group of young people to travel around Asia. The classical tour has been vanished by the economic boom. The expense of the traveling has gone up high that not many young men can afford to do it. Some people get help from the parents or travel with the family and this type of traveling is called middle-class or family tour. Lately, road trip in state has become popular style of traveling. As people find the traveling is enjoyable, this will lead to grand tour.
