There are few safe predictions to be made about the future of travelling, but one of the surest is that more of us will visit more places than ever before. Travel and tourism is growing into the largest industry in the world — but who will be travelling, where will they go, and what will they do? There are few places which do not bear the tourist's footprints. Even Antarctica is firmly on the vacation map. Sightseeing trips into outer space or to the ocean depths, are, perhaps, only a few years away. Technology is certainly fuelling the travel revolution, helping to cut costs and extend horizons. But it also provides opportunities for virtual tourism, where an Internet user can explore some of the world's most celebrated sights with a few clicks of the mouse.
