Why? What would give you that idea? "People who travel internationally" is not, to my knowledge, a privileged political class in the US.

People who travel internationally tend to be wealthier and better educated than those that never leave their country.

They don't need to be a privileged political class in order to wield more influence since influence tends to be loosely correlated with wealth. See also: Trumps billionaire cabinet.
