I travel for perspective, so I am not sure if I fit into your description of "imbuing it with vast significance," but I'm interested in exploring that. I have a pretty strong policy of regular self-review where I need to make effort to experience people and places outside of my day-to-day or comfort zone. In the US, it is very, very easy to become hyperlocally insulated and use yourself and your immediate surroundings as a standard by which the known universs is measured. I find that travel, and the mild culture shock or fresh experience that comes with it keeps all that in check in a pretty healthy way.
I do have trouble applying any high virtue to that, though. It's much more selfish than that. Keeping my persective honed and dynamic allows me to function better as a human being, forming better relationships to get what I need, apply different ways of doing things to make my day easier, etc. In a way, sure, I guess that is broadening myself a bit, but I can't see any fault in that.
