My Topic
Which is more important in travel, quality or quantity?
Source:
Quality in tourism
http://sdt.unwto.org/en/content/quality-tourism
What I hope to learn from this source:
I want to find facts and new sources that will help develop my topic or to get supporting examples of the case that emphasize the importance in tour.
Notes:
- While the conventional application of quality management in tourism establishments and services remains the basis, the quality of the natural and cultural environment of tourist destinations adds onto, and these together represent the overall quality of the tourist experience.
- Quality tourism and result in a high level of tourist satisfaction and, at the same time, protect the environment and culture of a destination.
- Improving visitor experience is another key point, with a view to getting visitors to stay longer, travel more widely and spend more.
Final Thoughts:
This source does not exactly the same with what I want to find. Through this, however, I could know that quality and quantity in tour would affect to more aspects like environment, attractions and so on than I thought, and I should define the meaning of "quality" and "quantity" in my article.

Quality Vs. Quantity In The Big Trip
http://brownvagabonder.com/2013/08/05/quality-vs-quantity/
What I hope to learn from this source:
Through this source I want to know why people should slow down and take a rest in their travel and what would occur in the travel without taking a rest.
Notes:
Urgent pace cannot last long in the travel. We would not be able to keep up this pace and we would probably end up sacrificing our health and happiness.
The physical, human part of me, needs the rest. It needs to sleep, and eat at regular intervals. It needs to sleep, and eat at regular intervals. It needs the solitude of sitting all day and reading a book, while munching on some apples. It needs the solace of staying put in one place.
Final Thoughts:
This source let me know that the period of travel should be considered before we decide which of quality and quantity is better and just as our mind needs the time of rest, our travel would do so. Besides, I could find statement that can reinforce my point ; if we continue to urge to watch more without any rest, our happiness and health may be sacrificed.

Competitive Traveling: Quantity vs. Quality
http://www.dauntlessjaunter.com/2013/09/18/competitive-traveling-quantity-vs-quality/
What I hope to learn from this source:
First of all, I want to resolve this question : What is the meaning of "competitive traveling"? And then want to know the opinion of this blogger about this and supports of his or her
Notes:
- One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things." - Henry Miller
- Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.” – Arthur Ashe
- a person who travels to places for a quick moment is still accomplishing something, still experiencing a new destination, even if it is brief.
- I believe that the best way to educate ourselves, our society, and the people we come into contact with is to travel, but to do it in a way that we are able to soak up the culture, history, art, food, etc. of the places we are traveling to.
- How can we say we’ve been to Amsterdam if KLM (the name of Netherland's airflight) only allowed us a quick layover there while en route to Cairo?
- As long as someone is happy with what they are doing, who’s to say it’s wrong?
Final Thoughts:
In this source I could find not only my opinion's supports but also the opponent's. Reading the opposite side's supports makes me consider the refutation. Also I learned a word "competitive traveler" that indicates those who aim for visiting as many places as possible and that reflects the today's travel culture, and I think I can paraphrase my topic using this word. And finally this gave the great answer about my topic; it is not a problem what point one thinks important as long as he or she feels happy through it.

The Quality of Travel verses Quantity?
http://travelenlightenment.net/the-quality-of-travel-verses-quantity/#ixzz3H8BtvOEk
What I hope to learn from this source:
I hope I could learn some examples that can support my opinion or what can be helpful in developing my refutation and so forth.
Notes:
- Having a local share an orange, or something sweet, or some tea with you because of your time spent with them, sitting with them and not caring about the time spent; whatever the circumstances may be, it’s an experience of quality rather then quantity that provides an inner satisfaction which nobody can take away.
- The moment is what matters. Living in the moment a person will find out that all things take place within that moment.
- If time is limited, the quality of time in any one place will provide a much more satisfying experience then just running from place to place.
- I just met a woman who traveled Israel, Jordan and Egypt and was downhearted because of the rush of time. From my personal experience by visiting with many travelers and tourists, many at the end are mince meet – run into the ground with exhaustion.
- I have met many at the end of their trip who were disappointed, burnt out, toasted, because of the quantity they took on their trip running themselves ragged.
Final Thoughts:
The author of this post has the same opinion with me. Through this, I could get an example for my opinion. While reading this, I think the researches that are same side with my opinion is almost similar, saying that the deep inspiration and meaningful experiences don't come in short time and the travel without slowing down just makes the traveler exhausted physically and mentally.
