Classist?

  Unbelievably classist. Everyone who wants something different than the author does from travel must be snooty and incapable of appreciating 'real' travel.

    I'd say she would rather one not travel at all.

      You would think so, given the title but after all the polemic, she never seems to argue for it. Maybe it was just buried at the bottom of the rant.

  Disgustingly so. These lower middle-class dolts who scrimp and save to go on vacation are RUINING cities for REAL travelers like the author. These poor idiots don't even deserve to travel! Why can't they just learn their place and stay put?

    I’m not sure we read the same article. I didn’t hear the author claim anybody should be traveling, including her. I read it as traveling ruins the things that you’re traveling to see, and that everyone should focus more effort on staying put. I didn’t catch any exceptions to those statements.
