Taking a year off to travel after graduating college. Good or bad idea?

Alright, so I'm extremely interested in traveling the world. I'm graduating with my bachelor's degree in Economics and Business Management with a minor in Finance in May 2011. I'm thinking of taking about a year off and just traveling the world for as little money as possibly can.

There are two main things I'm looking for some opinions on:

1. If this is a good idea in general.
2. How it will affect my marketability in the fairly tough job market (Positively, Negatively? Why?)

If there's anything else you'd like to add, and I'll answer any questions you have. I'm hoping to get a good idea of what I'd like to do before the school year starts so that I can do the necessary planning. Any information you can provide to aid me in this decision is greatly appreciated.
