It all makes sense, though -- despite the fact that the US economy is currently not doing so hot, some of the world's most heavily populated countries are also up-and-comers in the global economy. The citizens of those countries start making money, and for the first time, they have disposable income... I know that if I were in that position, I would want to travel. I think that you have pegged a major issue that has yet to spark a media panic - scarcity of place - and we would all do well to keep that in mind.

We host adventure trips with this in mind. Matadortravel.com is another great up and comer. When researching for our company we found, by accident, that there is a market you could probably call the Tim Ferriss Market - a segment of the population that, like me and like he has done, wants to be freed up and travel.
