Retirement has the 401(k). College has the 529. Healthcare has the HSA. Each makes saving systematic: automatic contributions, employer matching, tax incentives. Travel has none of that. Saving for travel has come down to willpower and workarounds, mostly alone. But the trips themselves are anything but alone. The people you love want to help fund, cheer on, and be part of the trip. They've never had a real way to do any of it.
