Folks that don't travel will never get it. Whatever bargains that are left in America be it houses in the heartland, hotel rental rates in suburbia or airline travel will no longer be cheap relative to the purchasing power of a dollar in another decade or so.

In Kona we used to average about 1.1mm visitors in a boom year. recessions we avg 900k. Just 200k made the difference between boom and bust. The addition of many more mainland direct flights has really helped. Last year we hit 1.3mm for an all time high but that is down sharply this year. w/o tourism we have no economy.
