I just don't get that.
A couple of years ago, we took a bus trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound, a boat trip on the Sound, and return.
A group of Japanese slept all the way there, sat around a table inside eating while on the boat, and slept all the way back. Even when the bus stopped for us to look at the scenery and stuff, they didn't even bother to get off the bus.
Why bother going ? I'm sure that they saw and experienced nothing.
