Let me focus with the “BACKPACKERS,” it is a form of low-cost, independent local or international travel. It includes the use of a backpack or other luggage that is easily carried for long distances or long periods of time; the use of public transport: inexpensive lodging such as youth hostels; a longer duration to the trip when compared with conventional vacations; and an interest in meeting the locals as well as seeing the sights. It is typically associated with young adults, who generally have fewer obligations and thus more time to travel. They also have less money to spend on hostels or private vehicles. Backpacking has a sense of authenticity. It is perceived as being more than a vacation but a means of education. Backpacking (travel) Backpacking is either a single or group traveler/s. Usually a group of individuals gather together who wanted to have a short vacation or weekend after days or months of hard work.
