本文探讨了商务旅行作为一种当代流动形式，以及它与家庭生活的关系。通过对商务旅行者的定性研究，深入了解数字技术在实现与家庭和家人的联系方面所发挥的作用。该论文认为，技术提供了一个“商务旅游凝视”，其特点是关注“家”，而不是像休闲游客那样关注“离开”。本文讨论了如何，通过商务旅游的目光，日常和异国情调之间的界限被溶解，商务旅行者与目的地断开，同时缺席，而目前在目的地和家里。提供了商务旅游体验的理论认识。
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 ‘business tourist gaze’, characterised by a focus on ‘home’ rather than ‘away’ 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.
