No, statelessness is a real issue that people have to deal with (and which is not always correctable; most stateless people live in their country kf birth and if they could become citizens there, they would), not some kind of made up sovcit thing or a “behavior” that can be “encouraged”.

Most refugees are not stateless, most stateless people are not refugees. They are distinct states that come sith distinct sets of challenges.

The article doesn't specify vacation travel; stateless people travel for work and also to cure statelessness for themselves and/or their children (the country in which they currently reside may not be the easiest—or even legally possible—for either they or their children to acquire citizenship, another one may make that more possible for them or, even if not, especially if it is a jus soli jurisdiction, for their children that might be born there to acquire citizenship.)
Not having citizenship is different than being stateless.
