What we need is a good ole fashioned plague or famine to help us travelers out a bit.

Yabbut, ringing a hand bell and calling out "Unclean" can have its drawbacks too.

I guess those three might reduce tourism  but they would also make those pristine locations a bitch to visit. If it is just Malthusian population growth you want to control you left out development which seems to work in a less disruptive manner. It works so well the developed nations depend on immigration to maintain economic growth. If the rest of the world catches up we might eventually need to learn how to make do with the people we have.

We went to Poland twice and it was beautiful and cheap. No English is spoken in the small cities but it is in the bigger ones. Anyone got any ideas how to find a cheap Hawaiian cruise in the Spring?

Try vacationstogo.com. Select your months and Hawaii as your region. If you have a min/max number of nights you want, then use the Custom Search to specify that.

Undiscovered destinations is pretty much an oxymoron.

If you want real undiscovered try Belarus. They now allow visa free for five days.

Ukraine's not "undiscovered" but definitely on the top of my list! Thought I'd book when I got back from Japan 10/29 but the driver made himself unavailable until May .... thinking Belarus. Thanks for the link!
The one thing I miss about work is the travel. Overnight wasn't a lot (definitely don't miss flying out in the AM and back at night), but those week long 1/2 day conferences with 2 travel days were nice
