They already are.
Look when some filthy rich travel editor says 'Go home you ghastly people
and stop making my beautiful planet look messy' he's just asking for a
kicking.
He's the one that caused it.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Who flies more miles, tourists or business travelers?
A tourist might log 15,000 miles in a year but a business traveler might
log 10 times that or more.

Business is lots more miles. I used to travel a 100,000 miles plus a year,
and a majority of the people on the plane were also business types.
