Travel trends in the US and other countries over the past decade or two or three.
Are there really fewer people travelling now as compared with the 1990s, for example? Or is the opposite true?
What kind of travelling are people doing? Has the number of people flying to other countries for leisure travel increased or decreased? Or are people tending to stay in their local areas? And so on.
Real statistics.
You're claiming that "travel that has more or less hit a brick wall in recent decades". I'm asking ... has it? And do you have statistics to back up that claim?
