Gap years, travel and employability

From a press release about London Stansted's Go-Gap Travel Packages, which are curated with career boosting experiences and value for money in mind:

"With competition for graduate jobs becoming fiercer, it is more important than ever to graduating students that a gap year does not equate to a gap-in-your-CV-year. However, research commissioned by London Stansted Airport and You Gov showed that 44% of UK adults felt that the job prospects of younger people are improved if they combine travel with a skills course.

"The research also revealed that a third of young Britons admitted they felt that travel was important to their overall growth as an adult, with 73% of gen Z travellers seeking out historical and cultural sights while abroad to enhance their education."

What do you think? Does travel combined with education boost employability? What kind of historical and cultural sights have you visited/would you like to visit to enhance your education?
