4 in 10 Americans haven’t left the country
How well-traveled are Americans?
A study conducted by market researchers OnePoll surveyed 2,000 Americans across the U.S. about their travel experiences. 40% of respondents said they have never left the country.
These results don’t mean people don’t want to travel. 76% of respondents wished to travel more than they already do and 60% said they have a list of places they’d like to visit.
The biggest travel barriers cited aren’t surprising: a lack of necessary finances and a general shortage of leisure time.
Thankfully, I'm a part of the 60%'ers. Business and pleasure international travel. Boom.
