Keeping an Eye on Work While on Vacation

by



85749063_Th.jpgOne of the growing trends in vacation travel is mixing a little business with the pleasure. One in five people who go on vacation bring their laptops along so that they can get a little work done during vacation travel. Even more keep up with email and other messages in order to make sure that everything is on track at work. CNN Travel reports on this latest vacation travel trend:

About one in five said they did some work while vacationing, and about the same number checked office messages or called in to see how things were going, the poll showed. Twice as many checked their e-mail, while 50 percent kept up with other personal messages like voice mail.

Thanks to electronic devices, it is easier to stay in touch, not only with friends and family, but also with work obligations. So, in addition to using souped electronic devices to take pictures and document the vacation, it is also possible to use them to stay connected to what’s happening in the office.
