Concur. I spent some time working from Koh Lanta earlier this year. Beautiful island with good infrastructure but it's not been overrun by giant resorts. There's a nice coworking space on Long Beach called Kohub.

Airfare isn't falling because the domestic airlines a) have a triopoly and b) have learned not to compete on marketshare, so capacity isn't increasing as much. The big 3 have become much more disciplined when it comes to revenue

OPEC is no longer a coordinated entity. For decades OPEC's member nations waged economic war on each other by cutting prices to increase marketshare, in violation of OPEC quotas. The Saudis acted as the swing producer, lowering their
