And that's for travelling. Think about how many people struggle in their home country with very few chances to try it out in a better place for them. As Nancy

  In my experience, people from India (and I'm guessing other third-world countries) often move to a foreign country without ever visiting first given the expense of travel and their limited savings. In a way immigrating is more accessible to them than visiting as a tourist. But generally, yes I agree with your point.

    > In a way immigrating is more accessible to them than visiting as a tourist. Not really. Someone from a developed country can get a working holiday visa to other developed countries very easily and work and travel. People from third world countries cannot do that, ofcourse I understand why they cannot do that.

      Most working holiday visas top out at a certain age, like 35 or even lower. The US participates in surprisingly few - only five, most of which have maximum ages of 25-30. But, sure, what you say applies to young people from most developed countries.

  This is also one reason countries have a higher wage than others, because not everyone can come in and increase the supply of labour.
