I think it comes down to one simple thing: money.
You have a young person fresh out of university, saddle them with student debt, and then tell them to get out into the work force and compete against boomers who can't really afford to take an early retirement.
Travel is expensive, even backpacking and camping out in a tent or staying in a hostel for any length of time is pricey.
When I was 20 or 30, I couldn't afford to take lengthy tours overseas - hell, at 50 I can barely afford it!
