What people are typically after is an authentic, romantic experience and it should be quite easy to convince a traveller that a long-distance train journey to Eastern Europe or cycle touring is going to be more interesting and unique than an easyJet flight to a popular tourist destination.

They just need to get people to watch that show on BBC where they get folks to travel to Singapore by land / sea and only spending the equivalent of the cost of the flight.

Yeah OK it kinda takes ages but it looks like fun and you find out some weird shit, like it only costing £45 for two people to get an overnight coach from Victoria to Dusseldorf.

How did they travel home?

Also, scale this up to the number of trains/coaches needed to fulfil the numbers who like a 2wk holiday each year, and quickly it will become a lot less fun for everyone involved.
