I think travelling should be more about building long lasting memories rather than filling up a checklist. Everybody nowadays seems to be travelling for the sole purpose of attention whoring. They're on the phone 24/7 taking pictures of everything. They don't interact with anybody, too shy to even ask a stranger or a fellow traveler for a picture. Their travel companion is a phone at the end of a selfie stick. Did your dog take a shit next to the Eiffel tower ? Post it on Facebook, show the world what you had for breakfast this morning, pretend you're not a sad anti-social snowflake by posing next to the fucking statues.
The worst I've seen are the Chinese groups. They're like cattle, dropped off next to some attraction, pushing everybody around in their quest for that "amazing" picture taken with an ipad, then pushed back into the bus and onward to the next destination. By the time you wake up from your hangover, they're on the plane back home.
