Good composition!
Who are the tourists, and who are the travellers?
That is for everyone to decide.
The image fits in a loosely growing series.
A series in which I capture people looking at things (in museums or outdoors).
Some look at what is there. Others look at descriptions in captions, guidebooks, etc.
Some have an open view. Others are more cramped, often by the opinions of others.
A photography forum is actually not very different.
Here is another:

How do you know you are correct with your labels?
I don't label. I suggest.
Every viewer has the liberty to label or not to label.
Or to follow, or to disagree with labels pasted by others.

The above 2 photographs are in an entirely different league than your original posting, particularly the first one.
They are indeed different in concept. Which is better is probably a matter of opinion.
Let's not get too much carried away by philosophy (I don't label; I suggest. Wow).
I plead guilty.
These pictures do pull the viewer in and represent something.
OK thanks.
With all due respect, your original picture just didn't, IMHO. Thanks for adding these. Mark
I appreciate your opinion. You are correct in stating that the original one is more "detached". In the two of the museum, the photographer's presence is more clear (although he is being ignored, thank god). The outdoors shot is obviously from a bigger distance (but that distance suited me well to get the composition I ended up with). I could crop to a closer view (landscape orientation of just the top part), but that would lose me the stairs and the empty bottle.
