Conservatives often have two key defining characteristics that they build their entire belief system around:

A lack of empathy, and a fear of “other” individuals and cultures.

These lead to a whole host of outcomes, and vary by individual. When it comes to travel I often see it expressed in how vacation is viewed.

Many conservatives I know view vacation as being 100% about them - relaxing, eating their favorite food, seeing their favorite sights, doing their favorite things. They do not care about leaning about someone else’s experience or culture because they cannot empathize with them, and the xenophobia means they’re scared of how to even broach the subject.
