Authenticity and transportation
Tourists are used to travel
long distances by car or airplane to other regions
or countries searching for authentic experiences.
Yet, after the introduction
of railways, many critics argued that the fast and
detached mode of transportation makes you unaware
of the real distance travelled, thereby already
making any "authentic" experience impossible.
Today, we still look down
on "mass tourists" who travel to a church
or monestary on top of a mountain by bus or cable-car
instead of getting the "authentic" experience
of walking or climbing
up.
