What percentage of Americans have travelled outside the US?

Answer 1

About 65%

Answer 2

Lonely Planet (the global tour guide books) has posted a House resolution on National Passport Month, citing a figure of 23% of Americans with passports.

So let's conservatively estimate that 15-25% of Americans have ever travelled outside the States.
