This is a bit offtopic, but I would get a little bit offended on behalf of the Czechs - for almost their entire national history a major player in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire, one of Europe's industrial and engineering powerhouses, the birthplace of what became Protestantism, etc. They just had the misfortune to be on the wrong side of a frontline in 1945.

Anyway, back on topic. Lots of good points above, and I'd add another consideration. We Westerners (*strokes his EU passport*) travel, especially overland, to a significant degree in order to escape our boring lives in a safe society. Yes, we think of them as "unfulfilling" lives, but what we're after is the excitement of not knowing what will happen to us tomorrow, and the feeling of achievement for getting through a difficult (maybe dangerous, though not TOO dangerous) situation.

Now take someone from the Global South who, maybe, even has the money to go traveling. What do they want to experience? Same as us - an environment and culture that is significantly different to what they've lived in for all of their lives. So shall someone from an upper-class Thai or Chilean family go riding a motorcycle across Africa? Eh, probably not... they might do an Interrail journey across Europe, going from Paris to Florence to Barcelona, or buy an old Cadillac and do a road trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Chicago to New York.

You'll certainly find rich Third Worlders at Nordkapp... but they'll have probably gotten there by Hurtigruten cruise ship.
