|  | ABOUT BACKPACKING - TIME magazine, 16 December 2002
Few modern social developments are more significant and less appreciated than the rise of backpacker travel. Backpackers are not only more likely to respect local cultures than those tourists served by the mass market, but they are also, in their own way, valuable to host economies. Backpackers may spend less on vacation than what their parents, but most of what they do spend stays local
estimates
70% of backpackers' vacation expenditures go to locally owned businesses, compared with only about 30% of the cash spent my "mass tourism", who often stay in big hotels owned by foreign firms

Have a wonderful birthday and one to remember for a long time | RoscoeGregg Sun Sep 27, 2009 15:47 UTC
I just love that poem. Please know that many people in the U.S. feel the same way and we are working to make our country's role more possitive. Sorry we are dragging everyone with us. Keep the faith for peace! | MM212 Thu Sep 10, 2009 19:27 UTC
