I don't take it that way. In terms of "broadening your horizons" it's easy to travel and not connect with the local culture. You're just a tourist, window shopping into the lives of the local people. Strolling through with your selfie stick to earn social credibility on the Gram.
That said, I think people who enjoy Rick Steves would also be the type to make an effort to get the authentic experience. Could be my own projection.
