How much on average would a around the world ticket cost including hotels?
For a rough estimate, round the world air tickets start at about US $2000 if you stick to Canada, US, Europe, and Asia. If you want to include any of South America, Africa, or South Pacific (Australia, New Zealand, Pacific islands), add about $500 for each of those regions. Flying between mostly major hub cities like New York, London, Bangkok, Tokyo, Sydney, etc. will be cheaper than including places like Kathmandu, Easter Island, Maldives, Ghana, etc. For something like London to Johannesburg to Mumbai to Beijing to Sydney to Los Angeles, then by road to New York, then fly to London, the air ticket will probably cost around $3000. Hotel prices depend a lot on how you travel. The cheapest hotels are less than US $10 per night in places like India and Thailand, but they can be real dumps. Youth hostels can be found for $15-30 per night in Europe. If you want a higher level of comfort and privacy you will probably need to pay more like US $30 per night in Asia and Latin America, and US $
