Mire effect just says "reveals", nothing else. So it actually is a beneficial card 'cause allows players to see the next encounter card. Why care about traveling there (specially because its travel forced requirement is rising threat level)? Am I missing something?

Reveal means you also have to add the card to the staging area (location/enemy) or resolve its effect (Treachery).

FAQ:

Any time encounter cards are â€œrevealedâ€ from the encounter deck, the players should follow the rules for staging as explained on page 14 of the rulebook and rule (1.39) of this document.

Rules:

Staging

After each player has had the opportunity to commit characters to the quest, the encounter deck reveals one card per player. This is known in the game as STAGING. These encounter cards are revealed one at a time, with any â€œwhen revealedâ€ effects being resolved before the next card is revealed. Enemy and location cards revealed in this manner are placed in the staging area, treachery cards are resolved and (unless otherwise indicated by the card text) placed in the discard pile. If the encounter deck is ever empty during the quest phase, the encounter discard pile is shufï¬‚ed and reset back into the encounter deck.
