May not work in all cases, seems like everyone that goes to egypt to see the pyramids comes back hating egyptians.
I've seen discussions where the topic was something like "Where did you travel to that you would never go back to again", and the responses there heavily implied that travel can inspire racism.
I think Twain here is referring to travel less as tourism, ie short vacations, but more about spending time living in different countries and getting to know people and their culture, making friends, etc.
