"Like most lifestyle choices, vacation travel has been viewed primarily as a
matter of personal preference and financial means. "If you want it and can
afford it - do it" has been the prevailing mindset. Given the ecological
problems threatening the planet, this sort of self-indulgent willfullness,
particularly on the part of "first world" travelers, is no longer appropriate.

destinations as we do to the decision to drink coffee, drive a car or have
children."
