Hot take: random citizens should be awarded state-sponsored vacations to random countries every year.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."

I wouldn't want to subject the rest of the world to unwilling, closedminded Americans like that though. Americans are already well known to ignorant and obnoxious tourists. I'd say youd have to pay the locals if you want to do this and come out with balanced karma.
