Не очень хорошо понял тему, но вот:
In my opinion, a normal traveling is much better than virtual. While virtual traveling, you can only watch some pictures and videos and use 3d models and maps. While normal traveling, you can really feel the atmosphere of the place. So, you can't feel or touch anything while virtual traveling. And also, you can't doing extreme sports during virtual traveling. You can't feel adrenaline and others emotions.
Also, I think, that the virtual traveling is not considered as traveling at all. I mean, that you can't say to your friends, that you was in Greece, just because you saw some pictures. That would be a lie.
On the other hand, normal traveling is very expensive. Maybe, that is the main reason, why people doing virtual traveling.
