Tens of thousands? There is some 5 milion tourists pers year to Bali and 35 milion to Thailand. Not to mention other destinations. So tens of thousands of biographies (if there is really such a number) is just an rounding error.

So I guess here is your answer.

What I simply meant is that travelling for most people is just a form of leisure not a life enhancing experience.

I don't agree. Very few people do anything significant enough to warrant a book about their life, but everyone who travels lives a better life afterward.

tens of thousands of biographies (if there is really such a number)

There's more than 80,000 in the biography section of Amazon, and that only includes the ones in print right now.
