How do the two occurrences of the word など function in this sentence?

Question

One of my life's strangest experiences was unexpectedly ending up in Cairo, where there was a sort of extremely cheap hotel full of Japanese backpackers, part of which is described below.

インド方面からずっとやってきた人や、アフリカを中心に回っている人など、さまざまで、周辺の国への渡航方法なども、ここを訪れれば、かなり情報得られると思う。

I can understand how most of that works, but how does the word など function here? Is it used when giving a list of examples?

Answer 1

など functions like "etc." You can see it commonly at the end of a list to indicate "other stuff like this" without having to exhaustively list every item out.
