Young people prefer "travel accessories" and enjoy a sense of relaxation, but they should not forget the "boundaries"

2025-06-25   

With the arrival of summer, "travel packages" have become an important component of many young people's travel plans. Unlike traditional friends traveling together, "traveling with friends" is a temporary "team formation" between strangers, which can quickly "disband" and return to their respective lives after the trip is over. The rise of this type of light social tourism is not accidental. In the current era of accelerating urbanization and increasingly atomized individual lives, young people pursue freedom and independence on the one hand, while also yearning for companionship and understanding on the other. The culture of "building children" can perfectly balance this need. Its "in and out" mechanism lowers social barriers and is more in line with the preferences of some young people for "shallow connections" and "social relaxation". From a psychological perspective, this lightweight socialization is also a choice for young people to actively reduce their social load. 'Tachibana culture' only emphasizes improving travel efficiency, sharing travel costs, or obtaining better experiences, without requiring excessive emotional investment. This new type of social interaction is rapidly established based on "goal orientation" and automatically disbands after achieving goals, which meets the expectations of some young people for low burden interpersonal relationships. The rise of "tourism travel" has also played an important role in social media platforms. From the "Tuzi Culture Group" on Douban to the "Tuzi Recruitment Post" on Xiaohongshu, and then to various interest based Tuzi apps, finding like-minded strangers has become unprecedentedly efficient. With just a few keywords, a few private messages or comments, you can embark on a spontaneous journey. This almost instant satisfaction efficiency is incomparable to traditional social interaction. However, while the trend of "tourism travel" is becoming increasingly popular, there are also some hidden dangers. On the one hand, the original intention of "traveling with friends" is functional collaboration, but some people may mistake this temporary companionship for an opportunity to establish an intimate relationship, hoping to transform from "traveling with friends" to a romantic partner or close friend, which goes against the original intention of "shallow connection". If both parties have different expectations, it often leads to misunderstandings, conflicts, and even relationship breakdowns. On the other hand, it is necessary to address the issues of privacy protection and personal safety. People's understanding of "travel accessories" mostly relies on social networks, and many people wear "masks" online. Some young people who are not deeply involved in the world may face serious consequences such as personal privacy leakage, property damage, and even personal injury if they encounter malicious "cheating". In addition, some people believe that "child culture" lowers social barriers and objectively weakens young people's social skills. The internet is a virtual mirror that is both related and alienated from the real society. When young people become accustomed to finding "internet connections" in specific dimensions of interests or needs, they may lose the ability to understand a diverse society. Each generation has its own social characteristics and life pleasures, but while enjoying "light socializing", one must also maintain sufficient vigilance and boundary awareness. After all, on the long-distance train of life, 'taking a ride' is just a temporary seat, and true 'fellow travelers' need time and experience to settle down. (New Society)
