I think that you are missing the pile of money that these people stuck in their home area would need to hand over for that plane ride, accommodation, and travel expenses.

Travel is now, arguably, more of a luxury than it was precovid.

Don’t go to expensive tourist traps. Travel is not just Vegas, London or Rome.

$1500 will get you a month in a less expensive country

Here's the expense that doesn't change: That will cost me a month of vacation days. Yeah, I can afford the money, if I choose to. But the vacation days are a huge opportunity cost. For me, at the moment, that's two years of no other vacations. That's expensive.

Most people are struggling to cover their debts, rent, and food.
