>It used to be that only westerners had the means to afford traveling across the world but recently, with the rising income in China and India, they can too and, at least in Europe, you can see this.

IATA forecasts that by 2037 Asia-Pacific will have more air travelers than North America and Europe combined.

My favorite air travel trivia is that the busiest air route by a huge margin isnt in new york or la or anywhere in the U.S, nor is it in europe, nor japan or china, but in Jeju, a tiny island off the coast of south korea. 13m passangers in 2017 alone. It blew my mind.
