According to the World Tourism Organisation, in 2008 there were over 922 million international tourist arrivals. Tourism & travel has indeed become a very popular global leisure activity. Whilst a large number of the 922 million people were travelling for business reasons, many were either having their annual fortnight vacation or travelling around different countries for a prolonged period. Many of these were either “Gap-Year Students” or people taking “time-out of the Rat Race” after a redundancy or termination of an employment contract. It is believed that many of those longer-term travelers would have wished to extend their travelling experience, but had to return to their native countries in order to find work or for other financial reasons.Imagine if it were possible to be able travel the world & generate an income at the same time?
