People say they want to travel to explore different cultures and cuisines, but their behavior says otherwise.

If people want to travel for cuisine and culture, why do so many tourist places have McDonald’s and Starbucks in them?

Why do tourist sites look increasingly similar if people want difference?

People say they travel to explore new tastes and cuisines. If so, why don’t people buy radishes when in season? The farmers market has plenty this time of year and I bet most people rarely eat radishes. They could save thousands of dollars, months of work to afford it, and sample something new, but they don’t try something new. Instead, they travel far to eat something they know and could have eaten without traveling.
