Some of the appeal should be obvious if you think (use your imagination) about it.
* It's easier to organize (you don't have to do the arrangements).
* Reduces the risk of the unknown/unfamiliar.
* It provides other people to socialize with (this is an important one).
(etc, etc).
Note that these things might not appeal to you (to each, his own).
