Is bitcoin a better alternative to international money transfer than say, Western Union?

What if instead of using Western Union to send people money, is it not simpler to use something like Bitcoin to do that? Would there be lesser fees? What apps would be relevant for that now?

And how would the person turn bitcoin into their countries currency? Bitcoin ATM? Or is there a better way to do that now?
