Millennials drive for 8% fewer trips than older generations:
we surveyed 2,225 American adults of all ages. On average millennials drive for 8% fewer of their typical weekly trips than baby boomers or Gen Xers.
Moreover, this difference does not disappear when we control for demographic information, proving that millennial behavior is not just about being young, single and low-income. Instead, what distinguishes millennials are their attitudes.
Millennials are more pro-environment than previous generations and less likely to believe driving gives them independence. They also see driving as more dangerous and want a travel mode that offers side benefits such as exercise or the ability to read or use social media.
The generational difference has profound implications for auto manufacturers.

Well, despite the high urbanization of the world, I have to say that tourists to my region (Yellowstone National Park) aren't as stupid as you'd think. Sure, we get the type who will full stop in the middle of a busy road, walk right up to a 700kg American bison, and put a five year old on its shoulders for a selfie. But they aren't common.
The real sources of death are road accidents , people drowning/freezing to death in our frigid lakes, and slip/falls. Much of that can happen anywhere.

1. I didn't say millenials in the city are all this way, some are bound to be opened to... ummm... living in open spaces, but a good amount of them may literally die if forced out of the city and required to live on their own - even if in country side villages, letting aside wilderness (I admit I have good chances to die in wilderness on my own, especially if the wilderness is Australia's outback)
2. the tourists in your region - don't try to generalize on their account, what you see are (apart from serious trackers, even if at hobby level) those that have some tolerance to the idea of touring the parks and "endure" a couple of days without taking a shower.
