When I lived in Philadelphia, it was common, especially amongst the older
generation, to just stay in the neighborhood. Everything they ever wanted
was in walking distance or maybe a short bus ride.. Working class people
with little extra money to finance a trip of any sort. Many never owned a
car, never had the need. The ones that took vacation went to the New
Jersey shore, about 70 miles away.

When I moved to a small town in CT, it was not much different. Some went on
a class trip to Boston, or even New York, but never went again in adult
life.

The owner of the company I work for had given some of the people chances to
travel. After 10 years employees (and spouse) were given trips to Orlando,
Florida, one was a West Coast tour, another to Boston Red Sox spring
training in Florida. At 15 years I went to Italy. We'd take the supervisors
(and spouses) to an industry meeting in Las Vegas. It was always fun taking
the first time travelers. It really opened their minds and the desire to
travel again.
