Only with the recent technology people are able to work from homes, hotel rooms, airports and even the beach. This freedom of movement created some extra demands on global travel.

I know a business owner who was able to take a month vacation far away from his home town after working for almost 4 years without time off. He was able to stay in touch with his clients while traveling by using the latest in internet and communications technologies. Millions of people now can leave their offices for extended periods of time without losing productivity this in turn will give them the freedom to travel and move around
