In 2009, some 61.5 million Americans chose to travel to a different country, and a little over 30 million went overseas, according to the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries. The lack of travel outside the border is emphasized by the fact that, of the 308 million plus citizens of the United States, just under a third actually have passports. There are lots of factors that contribute to this trend, but, simply put, traveling abroad is far more difficult than just heading to another state.
One of the main reasons why people do not travel is that, quite simply, doing so is quite expensive. With the combined cost of flights, lodging, and even eating, not to mention the potentially lost wages when people go on vacation, trips overseas will cost in the thousands. For some, that is simply not realistic.
