We have aging population who are no longer in a physical condition that allows for long-distance travel. An ambulance flight home from across the world can set one back $200,000. Very few people can afford that and while travel insurance can cover acute problems, those stemming from pre-existing conditions are often not. Given such risks, I see VR travel as potentially growing in popularity.
But maybe given a high-quality VR taster will make people want to travel even more. Who knows.

I am not sure that this article was referring to ambulance flights in particular.
While I guess we can call that travel, it is a specialized kind that I think few are opting to sign up for.
In fact, I think we all would like to see that number go down if possible.

It wasn't referring to ambulance flights. I just happen to know that an ambulance flight between continents can easily cost that much. My point is that old people may not be advisable for old people to travel too far. Old people are one potential group to market products in this category to.
