Most American’s don’t realise there’s a world outside of America. If you watch the news there you’d be forgiven for thinking that. Ignorance is rife.

Theres also the fact that Britain and most of Europe is in the EU so when we go to other EU countries we get EU citizenship travelling rights. Meaning we spend less time at border control. We just show our passports and get let in.

A more apt comparison would be how many Americans travel to other states in the US vs. how many Europeans travel to other countries in Europe. Keep in mind that all the countries in Western Europe are part of the EU and have automatic access to their neighbors… Have you considered that the size of the US is larger than all of Western Europe, and that the largest country in Western Europe (France) is smaller than the largest US states (Alaska, Texas)? In other words, don’t discount the cultural experience of Americans just because we don’t leave the country. We have to go farther to get out. :)

It looks like you missed the point. Why spend money on something that nearly half of the US will be unable to afford to even use.

Passport doesn’t only equal interests in other cultures, countries and languages it also equals dealing in other countries for jobs . For example. I live in Texas and work for a company that has four different district locations just in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. But this same company has only 13 district locations in ALL of Europe. We in certain cities within the area and occasionally travel to other states but our European counterparts may have districts that work three or four countries at a time. A Passport is required for them, not so much for me.

If ever become rich or something and have thousands of extra dollars to spend to go somewhere in the world then I’d get a passport and do it.

Also, Puerto Rico has interesting Cultures and languages, So does the Samoan Islands, The Virgin Islands and Hawaii. And Americans don’t need passports to travel there.

My point is there’s more to this passport topic than the closed minded stereotypical view that you’re holding on to.

Sam: Passports are valid for ten years. That statistic shows how many were issued in 2011, not how many total valid passports are in existence (for that I added up the most recent 10 years worth of numbers).

your link to show the number of US Citizens with passports shows that only 13,125,829 Americans have passports, not 117,014,020 as you’ve stated, therefore meaning only around 4% of the US population own a passport or passport card.
