I agree that it's a difficult one when you're asked to that the negative side for a topic like that.
The keyword to play with is 'mind'. How do you define mind? What is the limit of the mind? Are you sure it is the 'mind' that is broadened?

A little off-topic?

Then you can go on to rebut the common perceptions of how much the experience you get from one trip. It's usually exaggerated.
If the tourist is only concerned about shopping, does it actually broaden the 'mind'?
Shopping can expose one to many new things such as design, art, culture etc etc If the tourist is only concerned about shopping, does it actually broaden the 'mind'?

For the amount of time spent travelling, wouldn't it be better to watch documentaries or find information on the internet.
For the amount of money spent, wouldn't it be better to buy books on the subject?

Isn't it better to experience it first hand? Most people enjoy adventure and dislike reading, heck some can't even read well. By the way, your point here contradicts the limit of the mind, is the mind broadened thing.
QUOTE
Then you compare a tourist and a person who tries to find information from one location. For a fixed amount of time, how much information will the tourist and the other person get?
So you say that the attitude of a person is more important than the location/travelling.

Attitude "might be" more important, but that isn't his topic of debate - traveling doesn't broadened the mind.So you say that the attitude of a person is more important than the location/travelling.
