Travelling opened up the world the most adventurous would have been reluctant to visit 30 years ago even if they had been allowed in. But tourists need an introduction to the Orient, speaking from European, non-Asian point of view. They have first to be acclimatized, to get used to the culture, to explore a little bit of what the rest of the East holds in store for them.
