Abstract<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This paper reflects on business travel as a contemporary form of mobility and how it relates to family life. Through qualitative research with business travellers, insights are gained into the role digital technology plays in enabling connections to home and family. The paper argues that technology affords a \u2018business tourist gaze\u2019, characterised by a focus on \u2018home\u2019 rather than \u2018away\u2019 as might be the case for leisure tourists. The paper discusses how, through the business tourist gaze, the boundaries between the everyday and the exotic are dissolved and the business traveller is disconnected from the destination, simultaneously absent whilst present both at the destination and at home. Theoretical understandings of the business tourist experience are offered.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
