Another, less pleasant way to say this:

You don't want everyone to travel - many people don't have a sense of respect and "light foot" that it takes to travel to foreign places without degrading or damaging them.

I want everyone to travel. It might take a while, but travel is one of the most effective ways to teach people how to have respect for others and behave better. How else will they ever learn?

Not everyone has to do everything.

Not everyone wants to (Openness), or could reasonably do a good job of respecting the host culture and environment (Agreeableness and Conscientiousness).
