I think you are right. Depth of experience has always seemed more rewarding than breadth of experience.

I think there is value to vacation and travel for relaxation purposes. But you are definitely right that "world-view enhancing" is travel industry propaganda.

Maybe if you live somewhere for a year and integrate with the culture there is something to be gained. But a week in Italy is just for fun, I think it's silly when people claim otherwise.

Building a community and established roots seems much more meaningful than travelling to many different places, at least to me.
