Introduction
Do you believe thatalloftheuniversitystudentsmusttravelabroadatleastonce
in theirlifetime?Today, tourismis oneof the enormous industries in theworld.
It is reported by United Nations World Tourism Organization(UNWTO)that the
number ofinternationaltourists (overnightvisitors)isincreasingrapidly,from434
million in 1990 to 1,087 million in 2012 and it is predicted to continue to rise
steadily until 2030. They also estimated that twenty percent of all international
tourists are composed of young people from 15 to 29 years old
(International
Tourist Arrivals,p.4)
. Additionally, according to the statistics by O
rganization for
Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD)
, the number of international
students worldwideincreasedfrom1.8millionin2000to3.3millionin2008andit
is expected that the figure will rise between 4.1 million and 6.7 by 2020
(International student migration fact sheet, 2010). The market of tourism for
younggenerationisalsoexpandingdramatically.

Young generation, especiallyuniversity studentstendto like to travelabroad for

recreation or education.Onotherhand,someofthemaresatisfiedwiththeir own
countries, moreover, theymaystatethattherearenonecessitytogoabroaddue
to huge worldwide information from the internetat home. Others, however, are
interested in going overseas to experience various exotic culture, meet local
people andlearn
locallanguagebecauseoftheirpurecuriosityortheambitionof
their futures success.In fact, sincepeoplewho experienced international life or
graduated from higher educational institutions of a foreign country can work in
famous globalcompaniessuchasGoogle,AppleandWaltDisney,theyarelikely
to gain higher salary. In any case, it seems that university students are more
attractedbyforeigncountriesthantheirowncountries.

Thus, the main aim of this research isto survey the effectsof travelling abroad
on university students. We focus on university students because they have
relatively long semester break and are likely to gain the opportunity to study in
foreigninstitutions ofhigher educationcomparedwithothergenerations.Forthis
very reason,anothermostimportant aspectofthisstudyistofurtherunderstand

the second objective is to identify the reasonswhy universitystudents prefer to

Literaturereview
Tourists usually pass across different borders to seek positive effects on their
physical, spiritual and mental wellbeing,theywill eventually arrive at various exotic
destinations such as Mexico, IndiaandPeluname. Theyseemto travel for various
reasons, then experience somepositive impacts on themselves or gain someskills
afterunforgettabletrips.

ReasonsofTravellingAbroadamongYouth
There are many reasons why people choose international trip. Some people who
workor study insociety tendto feelstress and want to emergefromtheirusuallife.
Theymayneed torefreshand relaxin beach resortsto resetof their mindorforget
their daily lifestyle. On the other hand, more adventurous people might demand
much more exciting experience. They are impressed by something new andenjoy
strange culture in the destination. Based on an online article from AirTreks.com,
there are seventeen
seventeen reasons why everyone should enhance their lives
with international travel. The factors are forinstance,travellingoverseaswillopen
peoples eyes, allow you to learn about yourself, produce new relationships with
global citizens, and provide special opportunity to learn a new language or
knowledge etc. In addition, people prefer international travel than domestic travel
because of their interests for unknown experience (Yavas,1987). The purpose of
international travelonyoungpeoplearealmostequaltogeneralreasonswhypeople
go abroad in terms of leisure, however,some of them also travel overseas for their
future. For example, this time around younggeneration have powerfulambitionand
desiretolearn newknowledgeandculturecomparedtooldergeneration. According
to David Chamber, Director GeneraloftheWYSETravelConfederation,hesaidthat
the reasons why young people travel abroad were for enhancing themselves with
exotic culture, meeting citizens who have different viewpoints, and improving their
employability skills after they return back to their own countries (2013). To further
support this, the WYSE Travel Confederation surveyed 34,000 young people from
137 countries during August 2012 and January 2013 on their purpose of travel
abroad. Theresult was that 47% ofthemansweredforvacation,22%respondedfor
learning languagewhile 15%forseekingworkexperience(2013).Ontheotherhand,
the counter argument on this issue was also explored on youngpeoplewho avoid
international trip.Foryoung people, especially wholivewith their familyandcannot
work fulltime, it seems to be a serious problem whether they can arrange trip
expenditure or not. However, only if they have powerfulmotivationto go abroad, it
may be possible that theycan solvethisissue by planning theirbudget and saving
their money inadvance ontheir own orwith the helpfromtheirparents.Aresearch
that was carried out in 2012 reported that the youth motivation to travel were
6

influenced by economic factor (Blumenberg,Taylor, Smart,Ralph,Wander &

Brumbaugh).

ImpactsofTravellingAbroadonYouth
Travelling abroad for education tends to contribute positive impacts on todays
globalization. International students can enhance their communication skills,
leadershipskills and problemsolving skillsthrough internationallifeandeducational
experience. Then, the valuable skills will change the world and connect people
worldwide. Hence, most of the governments in the world offer scholarshipsto the
youth who want to study in foreign countries because they believe that studying
abroad is important in terms of the development of their countries andrelationship
with other nations. It was claimed that students who studied abroad were likely to
possess the skills in intercultural communication, solving difficulty compared to
students remain domestically. In addition,they canrespect culturaldifferences and
perceive the attraction of their own countries with confidence (Sumka). The study
explained that the students who studied overseas gained the faculty for greater
intercultural communication skills rather than those who did not experienced
education in foreign countries (Williams,2005).
Benefits from international tripwere
not only caused by studying abroad but also recreation. Travel overseas for
recreation or leisure lead to variouseffects. According tothe articleon IndiaTimes
(2013), there were five effects in international travel for even short vacation. First,
meetingnew people wasone ofthe greatexperiencesof travellingabroad.Tourists
can meet local citizens on train, bus or throughout town. They can improvetheir
communication skills. Second, leaving usual situation by travelling can reduce
stress, whereas only remaining at home cannot refresh. Travelling can temporarily
release people from their daily responsibilities and focus on themselves for a
moment. Third, the accomplishment of travel on basisof todolistled to gainthe
ability to achieve thegoalof usual tasks. Fourth, travel waseffective to acquire the
flexible mind. Tourists sometimes faced
unexpected situations in travels. The
circumstances provided the chance for tourists to overcome the difficulty. Finally,
travelling would teach people about the importance of perseverance because
tourists often encounter some situations which they should wait for something or
someone during the trip, for example, in crowded restaurants, long flight and so
on(2013).

Therearemany advantagesin travelling abroad duetoacquiringvariousskillssuch

as the ability of intercultural communication, solving difficulty and perseverance.
Young generationhasto gain these facultybyholiday travel orstudyabroadbefore
becoming members of global society. Although international travel require
7

expenditure, preciousactual experience in differentcountriescannotbereplacedby

money. The disadvantages of travelling abroad will not be able to defeat its many
advantages. The youth have a number of reasons why they need to break their
shellsbecauseonlyafter

excellentjourneys,theywillmaturemorethanbefore.

university students, and international travel was effective to young generation in
terms of leisure and education. We conducted the questionnaire online through

Looking first at the reasons of international trip. Firstly, 91% of respondents

answered that they prefer travelling abroad to local trip. Secondly, their main
reasons why they travel were to explore something new,learn newlanguagesand
experience adventure.Therefore,itis obvious from thedatathatuniversitystudents

overseas.

Turning to the effects of travelling abroad, it was founded that many university
students agreed international travel was usefulfor theirpersonalgrowth. Basedon
our questionnaire, all respondents agreed that travelling openmany possibilitiesto
personal growth. Moreover, they answered that they can acquire the faculty of
communication and social, planning and organization skills, teamwork and stress
