"Travel" phobias: what are most afraid of an ordinary tourist
List the five most serious of them published recently by American researchers.1. Fear of flying (aerophobia)
The most common fear among travelers. Although the probability of death in a plane crash is 1 in 11 million cases, many people feel more secure driving a car or walking on foot, than during the flight at an altitude of several thousand meters.
2. Fear to be away from home
Tourist, leaving unfinished work in the office, parents who leave children at home - this is just some of the causes of anxiety. Many travelers just can not escape from their problems and concerns during the holidays. They must be constantly aware of, and this creates stress and prevents the enjoyment of well-deserved rest.
3. Fear of contamination or infection (germafobiya)
Despite the exaggerated fear germafobs infected with any disease in any country must abide by the rules of hygiene. Swine influenza is only one of many infectious diseases, which can pick up while traveling.
4. Fear of problems with outstretched
This is not about fear of flying in the sky, as such, but the rejection of all that entails with it. Checks, baggage screening, absurd rules of safety can lead to hysteria. To this is added flight delays, overbooking, and fear to hold more than one hour, trying to sleep on a hard floor the airport without getting any information. Last year, the Travel Industry Association of America released a study which found that over the past 12 months, passengers have been canceled about 41 million tickets worth more than $ 26 billion
5. Fear of loss of baggage
According to the American Department of Transport, the chance of losing luggage is reduced to 1 in 285. Airlines using the method of scanning bar codes with luggage tags, reduce the risk of losing their luggage to 1 in 500 cases. But fear does not get his suitcase at the airport based on fear of stress arising in the recovery of luggage.
Caution, of course, never hurts. But the plunge into the abyss of phobias and let myself out of this, enjoy the rest would also be wrong. In any case, we must not forget that all the fears come from within ourselves.
