The travel and tourism sector has grown more in the recent years than most of the other economic sectors. It has added a record $8.8 trillion to the world’s combined Gross Domestic Product – up from $8.3 trillion previously. This sector has succeeded in creating as well as over 300 million new jobs.

What has led to this surge and why does the world seem to have started travelling more now. The benefits of traveling are not just a one-time thing. Traveling changes you physically and psychologically. Having little time or money isn't a valid excuse. One can travel for very cheap and very easily. If you have a full-time job and a even family, you can still travel on the weekends or holidays, even with a baby. Today there are all kinds of services available according to various types of travellers.

For e.g. Travellers are now seen differently from Tourists. This has also led to an alternative philosophy of travel such as WorldSchooling Families or Digital Nomads.

Worldschooling is a lifestyle that allows children to learn from the world around them and usually involves travel. A growing number of parents are choosing to worldschool their kids because this type of education encourages child-led, life-time learning and can be done anywhere, at any time.

Travel has also given rise to a whole new generation of “Digital Nomads” - online entrepreneurs or traveling freelancers. Gone are the times when being physically present in an office – from 8 to 5, five days a week – was a necessity. Nowadays, if the career allows, workers do not necessarily have to show up in an office or even be in the same city or country.
